Dear Netherlands,

The pigboy is your problem now. Sorry not sorry.

Sincerely,

Everyone else

You can almost hear the EU lawyers cracking their knuckles and quietly saying: "about that user data protection."

Yeah, moving to the EU to escape regulation doesn't seem like a smart move.

I‘m confused. Reddit claims it doesn’t host videos, just links to them but it absolutely does host videos.

From article

Reddit challenged its designation on the basis that it is mostly a text-based discussion platform, and links to videos uploaded elsewhere on the internet should not be factored in. The Irish regulator counter-argued that the audio-visual content on the platform is extensive, and pointed to its enormous reach, with 73 million daily users.

Could not find any post statistics, but they probably are correct and percentage wise uploaded videos should be at the bottom, but total count probably is too large to be simply disregarded. Reddit probably has more videos than Vimeo which is purely video based. And if Reddit would be in the clear then so should be Twitter and Facebook since those too are primarily text based.
