Earlier quoted context omitted.
Under European law it is reasonably impossible for an individual to run a forum or blog which is open to comments: > The EU just passed TERREG yesterday without a vote that requires anyone running a website with user generated content (a blog with comments, a forum etc.) and if they have significant EU user base to establish legal presence in the EU and have an officer responsible for deleting content with 1 hr SLA.…
As your comment states you already technically have to comply with this if you have a significant EU user base, regardless of your provider. Non-EU sites like twitter for example comply - I get the netzdg options when I click report from Germany, they have legal presence etc. despite not being hosted here.
