The EU learned with the GDPR that onerous regulations applied to every company actually helps big tech since they can afford the army of lawyers, bureaucrats and fines involved while burdening smaller companies.

They came up with the notion of gatekeepers so new regulations only impact US big tech. So it’s interesting to now see TikTok being heavily regulated because it met the gatekeeper while Twitter goes all in on toxicity and is ignored because it is not a gatekeeper https://www.reuters.com/technology/amazon-google-apple-meta-microsoft-say-they-meet-eu-gatekeeper-status-2023-07-04/

nostr:npub19qm2trjs3p32nwqwry4ufxl4fk9q4utkq53ywueg0yk8cvggra5s79sn8k scrutiny is actually mostly on big companies, and small ones usually don't have as much information to gather about their users, making it easier to comply. Being compliant is actually really easy if you don't spy on your users. Just don't save PII, and/or allow to delete whatever you save to users, and you are in the clear.
