#2Im surprised this place is called "hacker" news and iid actually filled with privacy conscious people but nobody bats an eye about not being able to delete comments. I have to create new accounts every so often to avoid being doxxed by the alt-right.

#3Typo in the title: GPDR vs GDPR

#4"The extraterritorial nature of these two frameworks..."
I've noticed that this is something the EU has tried to do lately, to just sort of push their regulations on the rest of the world. I don't see what sort of authority they'd have to impose this on citizens of other countries.
I wonder if Europe pushes the issue, if this will be treated like libel tourism, where US citizens and companies without a Eurpoean nexus will be explicitly protected from judgements against them.

The authority they have is that delegated by the sovereign members of the EU, and the fact that the authority of a sovereign power is limited only by its own decisions and it's practical capabilities.
(The US also imposes it's ruled extraterritorially when it feels like it.)

Any multinational is working on mitigation right now (including my own company) since GDPR compliance is based on having customers in affected regions, not being located/headquartered in those regions.

How is that different from US pushing their DMCA rules to us Europeans and removing our content from services with legal proof?

It's quite simple. If you want to do business in the EU or with people who reside in the EU, you need to comply with the EU's regulations.
Don't like it? Don't do business in/with the EU. Then you're free to ignore their frameworks, rules and regulations.
They are not trying to "impose their regulations on the rest of the world", they're trying to protect the privacy of their inhabitants. That this leads to measures that need to be taken by companies doing business with (the data of) their inhabitants is a side-effect and only logical.

It's something that basically every big block is trying to do, the US has enforced DMCA and other stuff on other providers as well.
Though in principle, GDPR only covers EU citizens - if you would be selling a product from Australia that exploded upon using it for the first time to an EU citizen, wouldn't you expect EU authorities to go after you as well?
