I hate to break it to you, but the idea behind the GDPR is gaining traction outside the Europe. Fighting this trend is only going to hurt more in the long run.

I hope it does. Europe, however, has a unique penchant for unnecessary bureaucracy. Nobody is complaining about GDPR’s requirements. It’s the ancillary administration which is destructive.

What enforces compliance if there is no administration - the administration is the teeth of the compliance.

Companies have had years in which they were receiving warnings and recommendations for best practices - they ignored them. This is the piper coming with the bill.
