    We can expect them to follow the law. And yes this means implementing required features to comply with the law.

      Nothing here is breaking any laws. I don’t know why OP thinks the GDPR applies here, it doesn’t.

        It does apply, but not to the Lemmy devs, but to the instance admins.

        As it stands, you can’t legally host a Lemmy server in either the EU or the US (or places they can reach) and federate with the 'verse at large without fear that the authorities will come after you.

          This is not true at all, you can host a instance in the USA for free and not be subjective to the GDPR. You’re not selling anything, or marketing anything or doing any data collection to be sold. It %100 does not apply.

            GDPR article 3, and the EU-US Data Protection Umbrella Agreement concluded in the US in December 2016 which makes it US law disagree.

                Lemmy instances offer services to me as an in-EU data subject, and that makes it subject under the very Article 3/2 (a) you linked.

                the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union

                Since there is federation, a US-based instance would still be a data processor if it IP blocked be as coming from the EU.

                I did in fact read it.

                  Read the rest of it, instead of cherry picking shit. The instance needs to be collecting your data and selling it or making some sort of money off of it.
