No, unintended consequences happen in every change one implements. Show me a law of any consequence, and I'll show you some unintended consequences it brought on.
I think you are confusing unintended with unforeseen, which is a different matter. But I don't think these were unforeseen; some are problems with the implementation, which will be corrected by the companies responsible, and others are just inevitable (if you give people access to something, by definition it makes it easier for a third-party to abuse that access).
- manigandham 7y agoThese problems were not unforeseen. The politicians were warned over and over again and you can find articles about it going back years. The implementation problems are with the law, not the companies. There are ways to enforce data protection and privacy without such complex and nebulous laws that aren't even effective against the worst offenders.
