Re: What makes a user a Brit?

I wonder what criteria Google will use to decide whether someone is British or not?

Nationality is irrelevant, as the article says this is about "UK users". GDPR, and it's UK implementation, refer only to 'data subjects', which are defined as people present (not even resident) in the specified area. If you're a US citizen on holiday in the EU any data collected about you while you're there is subject to GDPR.
