Yeah, how come the EU gets to regulate American services with all their data privacy laws? The EU is a tool of the governments to assert control over us, the common people. Plain and simple
Ofcom, famously a part of EU since brexit
The UK hasn't been part of the EU for a long ass time. Have you been living under a rock?
The UK had a Brexit just so they could leave the EU.
Ignoring that the UK isn't part of the EU, the EUs privacy laws extend to all European citizens, and it has treaties with most of the world (including the US) allowing it to enforce those.
