Since the EU is bringing an act , that needs the products distributed to be flawless , and it applies to open source products too , if a single of their contributor / donor works for a corporate , what will be the future of FOSS in europe with this ?

I think EU is the only reason why the internet is not full distopian and shit

You mean the web, not the internet. And no, they're not the only reason, they just help facilitate consumer protection in ways that happen to be mutually beneficial—not motivated by altruism. There are a lot of people who work a lot harder than the EU, often for free, who are much more responsible for the web and the internet itself being in a decent state and being worth caring about.

No, the internet. My Multiplayer game that I play does not have something to do with the web but still needs to comply with GDPR, every service sold or serviced in EU need to comply with the GDPR.
