No, legislators don't get to ignore the unintended consequences of the laws that they implement.

This applies to all laws that are passed. It is a frequent criticism and problem, of laws, is that there are often unintended consequences. And that is the fault of the law, that they did not consider the unintended consequences.

I agree, don't publish a law that you can't or don't know how to enforce.

What they should have done is made a public tool that checks your website and says: yes this site is GDPR compliant or no, it is not because A,B,C.
