Santa Claus lives off the grid and flies his unregistered aircraft across borders with no use for a passport.

Santa Claus is a free man on the land sovereign citizen




Santa Claus was issued a Canadian Passport in 2013: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/canada-issues-...

That said, it expired a few days ago; I don't know if it was ever renewed.

- "Still, the Canadian government was careful to drive home the point that it believes Santa's workshop lies within this country's territory. [...] As The Globe and Mail first reported earlier in the month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a last-minute intervention in Canada's planned submission to the United Nations commission that is accepting claims for seabed rights in regions such as the Arctic. Mr. Harper asked Canadian bureaucrats to go back to the drawing board and craft a more expansive claim for ocean-floor resources in the polar region after the proposed submission they showed him failed to include the geographic North Pole."


Nah, have you ever met a "sovereign citizen" that gives anything back to the society?


He runs a massive unregulated surveillance apparatus with no opt out and forces adults to accept it by buying the good will of children with goods made by his stable of captive unpaid workers

GDPR applies to him if he deals with European individuals. He will land into trouble the moment he steps on EU soil, if they manage to catch him.


At breathtaking 10,238 mph, catching an object is hard to do.


It doesn't matter what citizenship Santa has or doesn't have, the GDPR applies whenever he's processing data of EU citizens.
