Neither of you are right. The EU is not going to go out guns blazing with $20m fines for small companies. They’re also not going to host a drum circle for companies to harmoniously join the movement towards better user privacy. They’re going to get some big fines out there on big companies (who doesn’t love free money) and also go after smaller companies actively doing bad things with user data. Yes, they could, but in the same way that the person standing at the bus with you could punch you in the face. It might happen, but realistically, it probably won’t, and you’re probably not actively prepping for it.
