We have to wait and see, both Google and Facebook were sued on day 1 [0]. There have been many implementations. From outright banning EU sites [1]. To companies such as medium who tell you their privacy policy has changed and to accept, to companies who give you a modal window on how to change your security settings or just click "OK". What would be interesting to see are these stats: 1) How many users get upset about non-compliance and complain about GDPR. Just how many do actually follow up with the ICO? 2) How many users who see non-compliance but just don't want to bother and move to another "compliant" site? 3) How many users just don't want to bother, want to consume the content and click "OK". In effect, GDPR turns into the "cookie-law" effect. Where users become blind to it. Also, to follow up on 1. How many complaints to the ICO are actually dealt with and enforced? I think for now, we are in a holding pattern. This needs to be tested in the courts first. Google and FB are going to be the front line. Whatever happens there, will affect how things move from there.
