The law is not even in effect yet. The persecution you're talking about is imaginary. Those of us having trouble being so imaginative probably tend to prefer waiting for evidence.

Lack of foresight is not a virtue, it is a bug.

Wasting time & energy planning for a scenario that never happens is over-design.

Good luck with that mindset.

Besides, who said it will never happen? What can you be sure will "never happen"

Can I use your crystal ball?

You're right. On that note, it's best to never leave your house. It's just not worth the risk. How can you be sure that debris won't fall out of the sky? Do you have a crystal ball?

I'm aware of the risks involved in going outside and I plan accordingly, that's why I have a life insurance. I wasn't the one who said that was a "scenario that never happenS"

What kind of insurance can you buy for GDPR non-compliance, where it costs you less than actually complying?

Because there are ~25 existing sets of laws on the same topic [based on GDPR's predecessor framework, but evolved in different ways] that GDPR normalized into a single, common modern framework. Nothing horrible happened with those old laws.
