And meanwhile companies just hope that things go okay for them? That's people's livelihood on the line there.

  Companies need to apply the same judgment as they do for basically anything else related to running a business. How much do I need to do to comply with this regulation? How do I respond to that? I mean, it's not like businesses worry too much about people's livelihoods when they lay them off. It's just a business decision and the laid off person needs to deal with the realities of the situation. Now, business owners need to do the same when it comes to the GDPR decision.

  If all they do is hope, then they might be screwed. If you tally the score today, I think it's a win. A few companies may have folded, but a billion or two users have gained a little more insight and control over how data about them is used. But like I said, it's too early to be very confident about this.

  Should be fine... if their business model included farming out PII for profit, those same people can be gainfully employed in shutting those systems down and implementing processes to ensure it doesn't happen again. Net employment change zero.
