I guess I am a fan of GDPR, certainly compliance to anything has a cost. I personally don't find the costs of GDPR compliance onerous unless you have already built up lots of non compliant systems that now need to be fixed, in which case the free ride is over. Anyway, this guy is pulling out of the EU but if he allows anyone from the EU to use his service from a non-EU location anyway he would be risking non-compliance.

no. gdpr applies only to people in the eu. if you are an eu person in canada it does not apply to you.

you're right, it seems a few people have been making the same mistake about eu citizens that I've made.
