The DPR has been implemented since 1998.

GDPR had been announced 2012, implemented fully in 2016. Active enforcement will start May 2018 with again a temporary period to allow companies to correct. Refusal to comply after that can result in penalties up to a maximum of 4% of the companies global revenue.

How much courtesy lead time does a company actually need to comply?

Especially when such company is pushing legions of developers reduce their "time to market".

"You have 20 seconds to comply" says the robocop :-)

Exactly, someone has to be Kinney, and it better be someone already too big for our own good.

Courtesy heads up that they will actually enforce the law. Lawbooks are full of laws that are never enforced.
