I think of the GDPR as similar to clean operations with regards to environmental impacts. If, right now, there was made a law that fairly charged for all externalities on environmental damage of their products, then the companies that do things "right" with regards to environmental practice would be some of the most profitable. The GDPR is the similar type of law, but for data hoarding of PII. If you're doing privacy and handling user data that preserves users' rights, you likely wont have much anything to change. Sure, you'll have to put together 5 documents how you do use data... but everyone does in the EC. If you're a hoarder, spread PII everywhere it shouldnt be, or otherwise do bad things your users would find unconscionable, it's going to be a very rough time. As an American, I try to buy sustainable products.. But the GDPR makes it easy to see which tech maintains my privacy of my data.
