It doesn't care about anyone's citizenship, but it can apply to US-based entities if they're sufficiently targeting Europe in offering goods or services.

But is HN targeting Europe or any geographic area? If someone from Europe decides to participate, isn't that a conscious decision to participate in a forum outside of Europe and thus outside of the GDPR? Should someone expect their own, local laws to apply around the world?
