What Hacker News says?
EU style grants much more in terms of data ownership for an individual. So, comprehensive vs. patchwork coverage.

HN discussion> Note that you cannot sue anyone over the GDPR, however.

on “Facebook to change user terms, limiting effect of EU privacy law”There is so much misconception about GDPR. It is cleary directed at large data-tracking corps, not single person IM apps. Even if someone tries to "sue" you (which he can't, only report you to authorities), it first needs to go through many iterations where you can make your case.
