Can a non European make use of this. Or do I have to be in Europe to make and register a complaint. I assume there is nothing I can do here but I might as well ask.
You can file a complaint with any EU supervisory authority, even if you're not personally an EU citizen, as long as the company you're complaining about does operate specifically and targeted in the EU. It is better if you are a citizen though. But as long as they're mishandling EU citizens data, doesn't matter who tells the authorities.
If you are not a European citizen you cannot ask for your data to be deleted but you 100% can report a company, in this context Reddit, for not complying with GDPR.
For companies, GDPR applies to people in European Economic Area whose data is used by companies, or companies that have an office in EEA or another stable arrangement in EEA and process personal data of people located anywhere.
I am in Greece. I am protected by GDPR.
