Sure, but SAP's business model doesn't depend on doing as much privacy violation as they can get away with (this is basically the business model of all adtech) so they're far less likely to fall afoul of the GDPR. The main risk to a company like SAP would be _accidentally_ falling afoul of the law; this tends to happen where companies are grossly negligent in their handling of personal data, and this is then exposed in a major leak.

You are absolutely correct with this.

I'm absolutely in favor of making it impossible for adtech to make any profit at all as long as they build their business on monetizing user data and exposing their users to all kinds of hazards.

I find it funny that so few people here see a problem with that kind of behavior. It's as if they expect society to serve the market, instead of the other way around.

Temporarily embarrassed millionaires or not yet exploded adtech unicorns, the same mindset. ;)
