It seems that foreign companies still have to comply if they are offering goods or services to or monitoring data of people in the EU. I’m not sure if this applies to Reddit in this case but it can be necessary for American companies to comply with the GDPR.

Yeah, here in the EU you have (very rarely) sites that say they are not accessible from [insert european country].

So reddit either doesn’t complay but then they cant do business here either (and therefore take down their website in the EU) or they have to comply.

Reddit also employs EU citizens as part of their Admins and Ambassadors. Especially the Ambassadors are a clear sign that they offer services specifically for EU citizens. They are really, really screwed if they don’t comply with GDPR
