>GDPR is not a law about "The Internet", it is a law about company records. It applies to Google, but it also applies to the Pakistani food stand on the corner. It affects Google a lot more, sure.
It's about full stack owners vs. people who depend on modules to operate, not size of the company. And controlling or maintaining consistentcy across all those modules might be difficult when it comes to GDPR. Just think about plugin pipelines that many small businesses build with Wordpress and similar, where every service that sits between your app and your database needs to be compliant if you want to comply with GDPR.
The pakistani foodstand might be a full stack owner like Google, but in small, he controls his stack and can manually delete all records if neccessary.
But if you use modules/services you can't really reach into the DB's of your module providers.
