I love how easy it is to comply with GDPR. It's like actually sort of a boon to not have to keep stupid amounts of data on my users. I almost don't mind the idea of just 451'ing California and telling them "Sorry, your politicians are REALLY fucking dumb". It would be waaaaaaaaaaay easier than putting up with this absolute walnut-brained moment. The craziest thing about the lack of data protection laws in the USA is just how EASY it is to glean WAY TOO MUCH INFO on any American. I need to know two data points about you (say your last name and phone number) and from that it costs me like a few dollars or maybe more for more info (on pipl they jacked up the rates really hard), and I can tell you stuff like "Oh yeah your grandpa died in the holocaust" - All this barely knowing who you are, and getting access to these APIs is like a written test away in many states for a PI license. It's completely fucked.
