      Probably consumer protection…

      Reddit is trying to profit off everyone they can, and these idiots are about to tie real name and contact info to their reddit profiles.

      That makes the data reddit has much more valuable to people who buy data.

      Europe has a shitload of requirements that shares must meet in order to be sold to your average private person, including stock info in your native language, and a proper risk assesment.

        That’s not relevant to whether someone can buy stock. Lots of Europeans own stock in American companies.

          Apparently it is, because Europeans cannot buy these stocks.

          But feel free to inform me that they can.

        That also has to have an address somewhere in Europe to operate in it. Do you think Facebook/Amazon/Microsoft dont have offices in the EU? Usually American companies will open European offices in Ireland because they have lower corporation taxes.

          None of that changes the fact that it’s a US based company.

          Reddit (/ˈrɛdɪt/) is an American social news aggregation, content rating, and forum social network.
