RE: Utopian is Officially a Registered Company
I think it applies to photos and news so if I post a photo of someone or story about them they could sue to have it removed by EU law.

Yes, basically you're right. However, in the very first section, the legislation describes to whom it applies. You actually have part of the solution in your comment already. If a person wants to have his photo removed, he can sue to have it removed. But who would he sue? Utopian.io as a platform does not store anything about anyone. The blockchain is decentralized and distributed, so you'd have to sue everyone with access to the blockchain. Since there isn't a single entity registering, processing and storing your data, the GDPR doesn't actually apply as there's nobody to be held accountable for breaches and thus, nobody to sue.
