I think the current situation is actually quite good. GDPR was well thought out.
You need to be clear about what you collect, get clear consent (and all the courts decisions on that are actually going in the direction that it really needs to be clear and specific) and give people the ability to have their own data modified.
Plus, enforcement makes a lot of sense. Companies get a lot of warning before things escalte and fines are proportional to companies results so it hurts but is not a death sentence unless they repeatedly offend.

- Semaphor 1y ago> Companies get a lot of warning before things escalte Yeah, we once got contacted by our local DPA about some issues. Mailed us a list of issues they had with our site. I set up a call with them for some clarification, and they were happy to go into detail. Then they just said to mail them when it’s done, or they’ll just re-check after some months. They are interested in actually changing things, not in fees.
