European regulation applies to Europe only.
I don't believe this is correct.
Here's what cPanel has to say about the issue.

Although cPanel is a U.S. company, the GDPR applies to personal information about individuals in Europe regardless of whether that information is located in Europe or elsewhere.

Every single business, from a large corporation to an indie app developer, based in the EU or operates with personal information of EU residents must conform to the regulation or face the [very harsh] consequences.
Even if you're based in the U.S. or elsewhere, you'll feel its shock waves [...] in the coming months.
Here's a good blog post about the issue.

Should you care about GDPR if you're outside the European Union?
GDPR rules will apply to you if you store, process or share EU citizens' personal data.
Just remember Euphoria is not US only. Members come from different part of the world.
This is the problem. Unless the forum wants to say 'NO' to European members, this can't be ignored.
