I can't speak for the OP, but doesn't companies blatantly and intentionally break the law all the time?

  No? Well I mean in aggregate yes, but that's just because there are so damn many of them, that's not different from saying "people murder eachother all the time". Presumably you mean normalized to the number of companies/people involved/something. Also yes if you mean "misinterpret civil law in their favor", or just "not quite comply with some regulation - in the regulators opinion". But not in a case like this where it would appear to be fairly unambiguous and criminal law which you could go to jail for. When that happens it's newsworthy. Besides which, even if that were true, the right response isn't to create more laws on top of this GDPR thing, it's to create it and then enforce it, and fraud. Once you send a few hundred people to jail for fraud I imagine that the rest would fall in line.
