- a "value-add" or middleman opportunity on service provider side (think hosting companies differentiating themselves as compliant, like in discussed piece, or offers of "one stop EU compliance", and similar check-box ticking);
- more annoying popups for users ("this service is not available in your country", "click here to acknowledge you are outside EU", etc).
I am afraid that this EU law will not protect your data against those who made the laws.
US companies act fast a loose with personal data even when the US government is nowhere to be seen.
