The real issue with regulation isn’t the rules themselves; it’s who ends up writing them. And it’s almost always one of two groups:

Politicians, who usually aren’t experts in the field.

Industry leaders, who have every incentive to make the rules tougher for everyone.

Small company and business should be treated differently than big corp. And the fine and punishment should be adjusted accordingly.

While I generally agree, just differentiating the fines is not sufficient.

Small businesses in particular do not have staff or the capacity to to deal with a large amount of compliance overhead. The biggest help for small businesses (and large businesses alike) would probably be if the GDPR would be less vague on the rules surrounding typically collected data
