    How does that law actually work though? I thought it was only relevant to California residents.

      I don’t know if CCPA specifically limits itself to residents. Generally laws like this apply to any business conducted in California, unless they limit it in the law itself. This means either the user or the company is in California. Reddit is in California.

      Of course there is also the GDPR in EU so I am going to try it now.

      As long as at least one user from California was affected the Attorney General can take legal action against reddit.

        They are also held to account under GDPR.

        Any site that does not explicitly block European users has to comply with it in case they have some European users.
