Europe is a no-go area for any startup. Instead of building your product, you will spend all your time complying with thousands of GDPR-like laws, difficult tax regulations, different languages etc. and every country has also a lot of additional national laws (Hackerparagraf in germany for example). It's just not worth it.

It's not that bad... In practice startups don't have worry about these things before they grow large.

I've yet to be fined for not having a cookie popup on my blog :)
