As demonstrated by the troll in this very situation, right now (assuming the filer is actually a troll).

Who do you think can take advantage here?

Completely agree in general. It's a probability thing, given enough traffic all possible events happen. That said I do not understand how these mandates protect anyone.

The bad actors are still going to be bad and lie about it, the honest actors just got burdened with some of the worst legislation in recent history without it even coming from our elected officials.

It's dangerous and I don't care for having to backtrack through years worth of projects in use and figure out how they can each be GDPR compliant. It's a tax on creators time and is imo one of the worst possible things legislators can do to an emerging space (as all software is).
