I am not an EU citizen or resident, so I don't believe that avenue is open to me. Also, Twitter has not of late demonstrated significant susceptibility to regulations.

I will note that we've narrowed the claim from "you're free to delete your content" to "If you live in some countries you're very likely to be able to delete your content", which I agree is probably true.

>I am not an EU citizen or resident, Resident is enough.
In a very real, practical sense, GDPR can be safely ignored for most non-EU companies.

Europeans seem to believe things like GDPR apply to the entire world. They don't.

If your company has no physical presence within the EU - ignore EU laws as much as you want. There is nothing they can do about it.
