alt Hacker NewsWhen they receive a DMCA they will contact you and give you 24hours to reply and fix it. If you do not comply they will turn off your IP.
However this is more related to EU regulation rather than Hetzner itself.
Hosting things within the EU has become really tough.

Which EU regulation? I don't know of any relevant to this. Only American law.

they did NOT give any 24 hours.
It might be more related to German regulation than to EU regulation. Germany has some pretty strict laws related to speech, for example. My understanding is that Kiwix mirrored Wikipedia data on Hetzner's servers, and I'm almost 100% sure that Wikipedia contains things that are completely fine in the US, but technically illegal in Germany.
I have no idea if that was the reason, though.

I, as a European, using mostly dedicated servers within the EU (including Hetzner) haven't noticed this at all. What are you referring to specifically?
Some "use cases" like building marketing profiles and alike certainly has gotten harder, but that's a feature so I'm guessing you're not referring to that. I don't think general "hosting things" has become any harder than before, assuming you're not trying to slurp up as much data as possible.
