This is essentially the barrier for one-guy developers being able to start their own crowd-contributed platform.
This is so much in favor of the big players that I'll call this a lobby sponsored regulation.
It needs to go away. Or I'll have to move my stuff outside of the EU.
But as shown with the EU's GDPR regulation, even if your data is outside the EU but some of your customers are inside they'll regulate to get you to abide by their laws anyway.
It's bloody ridiculous on several fronts.
If your data is outside the EU and you are not there either then GDPR is irrelevant to you no matter where your customers are (they may not be happy of course)
