This is not true. Using a payment processor or accepting credit cards in no way constitutes targeting of EU customers. In that scenario you are neither data controller nor processor, in fact. I think, like a lot of posters in this thread, you've spent virtually zero time understanding the law and are just echoing FUD.

And it's very courageous of you that you're willing to risk other people's money to that effect :)

It's quite odd that you're calling a statement that amounts to "in the presence of untested law, caution is warranted" FUD.

That's like not even controversial. You're entire argument is predicated on you understanding the law better than everyone else. And well, I'm not particularly confident in a person whose most used word is "FUD" and who began a conversation by misunderstanding what I was saying. What reason do I have believe you?
