In most cases you could probably just tell them to screw off - unless you're registering a local business entity and accepting payments or selling ads, the worst they could do is try to add your domain to the great firewall of Britain since they have no jurisdiction over a server in another country (AFAIK).

One of my sites just says "GDPR compliance: lol" (even though I'm technically in compliance with the GDPR since I don't collect any data). As long as you and your servers aren't in reach of the UK or whatever other region is trying to enforce laws I think it's safe from any needs for compliance.

Ok, but what if the server is in the UK, where they do have jurisdiction, or other countries go crazy?

The UK isn't the only place where privacy and freedom of speech are under attack in the west. The whole of the west is.

As for the GDPR, it's a piece of legislation the EU mostly got right. It's not bad, for the most part it protects people when they bother to enforce it. The issue is that they didn't follow it by being consistent and continuing to strengthen the right to privacy, instead limiting it and attacking it.

Oh yeah no if it's in the UK or other countries with similar laws they're screwed like anything else. I just meant in the case of something like Bluesky which is American based and forced to comply with UK laws since they're (presumably) doing business there. I know the GDPR isn't comparable to this, I just get annoyed by cookie banners lol.
