Weirdly enough I am an European citizen, haven't received the mail and the service is working.

Not complaining, I prefer it this way. Hope you will sort the issues quickly.

The ban will be IP-based for IPs in EU countries, and it goes into effect at approximately 2PM Pacific Time.

Me too. And I can see I am definitely subscribed to "account update" emails. I'm not sure how they would decide if I was European or not, can't see a tick box for that in the profile page.

Where are you located?

The UK.

Thanks to Brexit, there is going to be a similar GDPR law for the UK.

Interesting times these are.

Why is brexit relevant?

Post brexit, GDPR will no longer apply to the UK.

Right. So without brexit there is this and with brexit there will be something very similar. Thank god for brexit.

Just got back from a road trip throughout Ireland, and occupied Ireland. I wonder what will happen to those two countries post brexit.

As I refer to my first comment: interesting times.
