From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You don't need to take remote places like DPRK. Trust me, most Lemmy instances don't follow the laws of 27 European Union countries.
Can you share an example which laws and in what way are broken?
I support Palestine Action. From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.
There: I've broken British and Australian laws.
Non of these countries belong to the European Union.
You're not an instance though
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure they don't follow the GDPR (and I don't think it would even be possible given the federated nature).
