This is what I was going to say. As an American, I have no recourse in these situations. Europeans are fortunate to have governing bodies with at least some teeth. Not sure how that applies to UK citizens post-Brexit, though.

> As an American

A bit over 10% (and probably somewhat higher than 10% on HN) of Americans do have something like GDPR. California Consumer Privacy Act. I'm not including Colorado, Virginia, or Utah because I'm not sure how equivalent their laws are.

They have the UK-GDPR now.

GDPR applies to all individuals in the EU, not just citizens.
