As others have stated, the GDPR have been a talking point in mainstream tech for 1 year, every one in the business with tabs on the current state have known this for at least 2 years when it was adopted. It was proposed 5 years ago, and before that we had DPD [1] from 1995 which more or less states the same, but without ability for the EU courts to do anything about companies not honoring it. It was up to the member states DPA to do this. Companies that cannot handle GDPR was breaking EU law in the first place and probably have since "The Internet" was a thing. If GDPR puts your business down, then good riddance. You'd gambled with the law and now pay the price.
