Did you actually look into the GDPR before jumping to these conclusions about the effects on your business? For example, if you have a legitimate need for user data (e.g. "I need to collect it and store it to comply with other laws") then the GDPR does not apply. This is very plainly laid out for those that care to actually inform themselves.

The fact that I have to look into the GDPR already proves my conclusion to be true. I fully expect there to be few if any issues, but I still need to verify against the regulation, which is thousands of lines of text.

I can't just refer to "salvar on hackernews" saying it's "legitimate" if it's for legal compliance.

Yes, you need to look into regulations to make sure you're complying with them. I really hope that this is not news to you if you are running a business or service.
