Complying with the majority of the law isn’t good enough when you can be sued for not complying with a small part of the law.

It’s like complying with 99% of securities laws and forgetting to comply with the insider trading laws. That’s not a defense.

Remember that this is EU, not USA where anyone can sue you for anything. If you feel a company is not complying with the law you can complain to your national agency who will follow it up. If the company don't comply after getting a warning the agency can bring the case to court and the company get on trial

The problem with selective enforcement is you may be treated nicely until e.g. your founder takes a political view a European politician disagrees with.

This is europe. We use laws to prevent conflict not to build a battlefield. We don't have ambulance chasing lawers here.
