We saw a bunch of small side project type of sites from the EU close down all over HN after GDPR became a thing. The risk for someone small is too high. The minimum fines are in the millions.
Something has gone horribly wrong with your governance when you can 1. get fined a million euro under GDPR and 2. arrested for hate crimes, for 1. hosting a default Apache server with logs and 2. putting a joke video of your dog doing a "Hitler salute" on it.
Hey, Count Dankula is funny, maybe its not for everyone, but he really should not have been arrested for what his dog did. His youtube has really fascinating content on it.
No, the minimum fines are in the hundreds, and that’s on the unlikely event where you actually get a fine. Fines over a million are definitely not the norm. See GDPR article 83 and https://www.enforcementtracker.com/
