GDPR did really good things for the market as a whole. The number of (inevitably US) websites that made a big stink either didn't take the time to understand what they needed to do (perhaps an hour for an average website by a competent engineer), or are so incredibly allergic to the implication that they must act ethically that they decided to say "fuck this". For these cases, the world is better off if they don't exist. If you build a system and cannot live with the fact that a human must make the final estimation and be responsible for it's decisions, you should not be building a system that judges people.
