That’s true, but if OP is European and received this Mail, it is a GDPR violation regardless of if the content is relevant or not. As far as I know, not a lawyer.
Just checked my old empty (now) account i didnt get such an email and im european. Maybe they do a send all in steps or something and see who bites. Anyway if ppl want to file a compllaint here is a link with countries and departments to file a gdpr complaint:
You also had to be over (what appears to be) an overall karma threshold to get the invite. It wasn’t sent to all users (I have a dormant second account that did not receive this notice). I received this message about 2 days ago.

But did they have anything or selected listed that they were from Europe, I wonder? Like, I tend to bounce around on my ip address with my vpn.

theres definitely a threshold. my account with like 100k comment karma was invited, another with like 100 didnt.
From what I was hearing the cutoff is 25K karma.
I’m on 41K comment + 21K post and I got it
Huh, my account was over 100k and I never received an email.
Not if they provided incorrect info during signing up. Which is very likely if they received an email only US accounts have been getting.
Aussie here with deleted accounts getting the email.
