Any company that stores or processes identifiable info like photos, names or even ip address on EU citizens is within the scope of GDPR.
If I withdraw my consent for example from Venmo to hold my name. Is that public record altered?

EU consumer protection laws don’t apply to items purchased in the US, nor do US laws apply on EU purchases.
There seems to be confusion over “jurisdiction.”
An EU citizen resident in the US is subject to both EU and US tax law, but a US employer who hires a US resident who happens to be an EU citizen is not subject to EU tax law because that US company, in this context, is not within the jurisdiction of the EU, while an EU citizen still retains obligations to the EU by virtue of citizenship. (And vice versa for Americans.)
Venmo isn’t doing any EU business even if EU citizens are using the system within the US. The citizenship of the customer is irrelevant.
I guess we interpret this differently:

Venmo is owned by PayPal who have an existing entity and operation in the EU -- they are absolutely covered by GDPR and they can't get out of it by having a subsidary based exclusively in the US.
Just as a US citizen would be under a different legal regime in a foreign country.
