Even the article says some of it trickles down to you over the pond

It probably will and will depend on whether or not it makes financial sense for the company to invest in doing things like making software that they have to write, test, and deploy, possibly in multiple versions for multiple regions. The short answer is probably not and so any changes made too confirm to European law will by default also be the case in the US.
