it's worse. in germany the dsvgo (german gdpr) will be regulated by the states of germany, i.e. every state has his own regulation administration. which means that there will be even more room for interpretation.

in the end the gdpr is more about opening new jobs.

also sites like: http://www.spiegel.de/ or https://www.bild.de/ do not care about the gdpr/dsvgo... so it won't happen that there will be many groundbreaking changes on how the governments will see privacy issues. at the end they just wanted to scare of the silicion valley.

Is GDPR that much different from the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz? Maybe those sites were compliant already.

GDPR forces Opt-In these sites use Opt-Out mechanisms and save a lot of PII Data that can clearly connect to a real person.

These companies were in violation of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz. It mandates information minimization which many fail to adhere to. The problem is more with enforcement, which was (is) weak. GDPR in fact is seen more lax (by our privacy prtection authorities) than the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz but it has more teeth.
