In the same way that legal firms started patent-trolling, there is concern that GDPR is ripe for the same treatment (legal firms brining cases on behalf of users in order to earn fees).
Right now I think there is legitimate concern, but time will tell.
- jakewins 9y ago> GDPR is ripe for the same treatment Nonsense. Patent litigation allows trolls to sue for and receive damages from the other party. GDPR violations lead to fines fines that go to the government; the plaintiff does not receive damages. Law firms working GDPR cases will only make money off of their clients, not from the companies they bring suits against. This is fundamentally different from patent law.
