What I've read on this seems to point to how European laws tend to be enforced to the intent of the law rather than the letter. So it's harder for loopholes to be explored in ways common to US law. Further, I think (though could be getting GDPR and the copyright laws confused) there is a clause that says the law should not be enforced in a way that is onerous to small and medium businesses. Which, again, as I understand EU judges to act, should actually mean it's still easy to start a company, but once you're pulling in sizeable revenue you must invest some of that in ensuring compliance. Take all of this with a huge grain of salt since I learned it from comments on HN. I'd love it if anyone can lend a more experienced take on this to either confirm or definitely what I've said here.
