It doesn't seem like it now, but this is just a storm in a teapot. All of the necessary bits to comply with the GDPR will be commoditized sooner or later. I'm betting on sooner. This also presents a business opportunity to provide those bits.
I do appreciate the fact that it's a nuisance at best and significant costs at worst to be compliant to GDPR. Only in time we will be able to tell if it was worth it or not. Maybe the US model of free-for-all access to user data will work better, maybe the EU model will...I don't think anyone can say for certain now.
If anyone does know with a high degree of certainty which will, it's time to place the bets.

And the court cases will go through, and everybody will have a better idea of what the "right" things to do will be clear. I totally agree - and I summed that up in my post. Problem is, that's a future - it ain't today.
- magnetic 9y ago> I do appreciate the fact that it's a nuisance at best and significant costs at worst to be compliant to GDPR. I don't know that it's that simple. What happens when you have conflicting requirements, for example (I'm making them up) EU requiring you to delete PII within a period of time and US/Homeland Security/IRS requiring you to keep the (meta)data for some period of time? There may be conflicting requirements that have nothing to do with technology & costs.
