I think a lot of people don't understand just how scary the GDPR is, and therefore just how breathtakingly stupid what Elon Musk just did over at Twitter is.
You know the ADA, the law that made basically every business in America have wheelchair ramps and elevators?
The GDPR is an order of magnitude scarier than that.
That's the only way to have a shot of forcing these huge, billion dollar tech corporations into compliance with them. That's a good thing, by the way.
The fines are likely to be in the nine figures, easy. Might be more.
