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.

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