It's worse than that, because GDPR in of itself, will not technically stop useds from inadvertently blasting data to any service

Decentralized services that EU citizens use will be even less in compliance as data is shared and copied between nodes by default. Sure block a few servers by spending more resources to find/go through the legal moves than it will take for a dozen more to pop up… see torrent sites/software and how people are monetizing such, because that will be the future… laws like GDPR only make such even more attractive.

And lets just set aside that nation state actors that are routinely compromised will still collect this data that will leak on to the internet… lol

These laws are analogous to those that were against the printing press… fighting the tide of reality where it's easier to do nothing than to contort something to fit a luddites dream of personal privacy provided by the state mandates (on top of building a functional product), without having to do anything oneself to protect ones interest, in the age of deep packet inspection, 0day-exploit-exfil-as-a-service, and metadata drone strikes.

Would be more effective to just make it law that users have to plug a black box onto their devices/networks so it can just filter non GDPR colored bytes lol
