Whether or not the whole gdpr direction will work or not for this guy doesn’t matter much because it’s only gonna work in the same context.

The USA desperately needs some law that says you can see what data a company has on you at anytime for free and request all of that data to be deleted as well. Anything less is just a loophole to be closed someday.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but California has some subset of this law already in place with CCPA. Unlike EU, it's theoretically possible a California judge could extend jurisdiction to my company in another state and drag my ass over there, so I have to care about it. EU has no such power over me unless I choose to operate over there and locate servers there.
