>Why do you think you can trust people not to do illegal things just because they're illegal?

It depends on how sensitive the data is and how much I trust the company. I trust my bank to handle my money because if they do something shady I can rely on the justice system. But I would not trust random websites with data I wouldn't want them to have, GDPR or no GDPR.

There's nothing stopping a Chinese website from ignoring GDPR and taking your data and selling it. You don't even have legal recourse there.
