I recall some laws in the US (or california?) were based on the size of the company (in revenue $$)

Too bad this isn't the case here.

IN the EU we have many of those and it's not a good thing.

Even when the fines or other punishments for non-compliance are relative to size/income/profit/etc, there are usually costs of compliance that do not similarly scale. Bigger companies can swallow them, independents can not, so regulatory capture can still be in effect.
