Thanks to Brexit the BBC cannot be held accountable to the EU anymore, no?

Edit: thanks for the responses. Understood: it still applies.

GDPR isn’t an EU law, it’s an EU directive, which means that it was (mostly) required to be implemented into member states’ own legal system. This was done in the UK before leaving the EU, in the Data Protection Act 2018.

GDPR is not a directive, but a "regulation" (hence the name, General Data Protection Regulation). It is enforceable "as is" in the whole EU without the need to be transposed into the various national laws.

GDPR is not limited to companies inside the EU only. It covers (the PII of) every _user_ from the EU, location of the website does not matter.

GDPR is embodied in U.K. law as the 2018 Data Protection Act. It continues to function post-Brexit

GDPR applies to all websites that want to operate within the EU.

The BBC does not operate in the EU, except to serve an ad supported version.
