Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.

What should make the first release?

They serve people in the EU so they absolutely have to comply. If you have EU citizens on your website then EU GDPR regulations apply to you.

I have done enough GDPR compliance training to make me want to gouge my own brain out but I guess it came in handy lol

Suppose Reddit tells them to go away. What are they going to do about it?

I believe blocking reddit in the EU is an option.

[–] neanderthal 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How would they implement that?

Matching you IP to your country and showing you an excuse if GDPR would apply. Some American news outlets do it this way.

All governments have the power to block a website, there have been sites blocked by the government such as pirate bay and MEGA upload. It isn't outside the possibility they can get blocked at an ISP level or beyond that.

They can even contact the website host which most companies will use Amazon services and they will definitely comply with EU regulations
