  What does “developed and working” even mean? Both are developed using GitHub, which is owned by an American company. Servers are located around the world. Developers are located around the world.

    Practically anybody is free to use GitHub. However, if l’m the developer, l need to comply with the laws of the country l live in/work from. The same regulations apply for the servers as well.

    That’s what I mean !! If I work from lndia and the server is located in lndia, then neither are bound by EU regulations pertaining to the internet/social media. At the best, the server would be barred from the EU.

      That’s precisely my point though. You’re referring to these softwares collectively but they can be deployed by anyone and hosted anywhere, so it’s impossible to answer.
