What a fucking stupid thing to say.
It's perhaps more poetic than is the norm here. That doesn't make it a fucking stupid thing to say.
The reality is that since we don't yet know how this will play out, those who are risk averse, whether by personality or positioning (because some people just can't afford to take risks), will tend to flee from what could be a crushing burden. Furthermore, if someone is essentially in survival mode and can't spare the time and energy to read the GDPR and become confident they know how to deal with it, then just needing to read it and adapt can be a de facto crushing burden without any fines being levied.
