I wonder if there's business in GDPR trolling websites. Does it count as extortion if you give someone personal data and then say they must delete it or pay you money to not kick up a fuss.

The GDPR is actually quite simple to comply with for most people: European businesses have been doing it for years since the GDPR is largely the unification of various data protection regulations. I suspect as more people learn that, that trolling business will fall by the wayside...
