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.
