Ops, that was obviously a controversial standpoint. Just to be clear: I’m all for individual rights. But laws need to have predictable consequences and be fairly and equally enforced, and my impression is that the GDPR is not. As an example I’m pretty sure the local court here in Malmö, Sweden has violated my rights under the GDPR. Do you think anybody would give a rats ass if I complained? I highly doubt it...

It might depend on the country, but Austrian authorities treat GDPR compliance very seriously. Even if the authorities got away, such cases make for embarassing press coverage and can threaten precarious coalitions, especially when elections are close.
