Title is correct, because only tech giants will be able to bear the cost of this regulation. If you have a small forum or a blog where other people can post, it means you are in a pickle. If your user base consists of significant amount of people based in the EU, then the law applies to you regardless where your site is located. I'll see how this develops, but I am likely going to close a few projects, as I don't have money to create a post in the EU for handling such requests. Closing the service for EU based IP addresses will not solve the problem if EU users use VPN. The cherry on top, they passed this law without any voting.
