Europe has got most of its wealth through imperialism back in time robbing countries of Africa and South Asian countries.
This is the primary reason countries of South Asia/Africa so poor today.
Before imperialism, most of Europe was poor while countries like China and India were way richer.
India is just 70 years old by comparison which is not long enough to make back the lost wealth due to its sheer size and diversity.
Now, American companies are able to an extract huge amount of money from European nations using mostly legal (maybe unethical?) using companies like Google and Facebook. They are set to make this illegal.
It's nothing more than a wealth preservation strategy. European nations can't compete against America and rising nations (India, China etc...) due to their aging population in near future.
So, they are going to shut off the market by making unreasonably harsh laws which are quite difficult to comply with.
You are finding compliance difficult because it's intentionally part of their design.
Keep an eye open and expect more unreasonable laws coming out of EU in near future. They are not going to stop here.
