Talk about unintended consequences: GDPR is an identity thief's dream ticket to Europeans' data

Best Internet Troll Ever

GDPR is the best Internet troll move ever, bar none. It costs Billions to enforce and wreaks havoc on all businesses trying to deal with the law. It may end a lot of businesses in the EU that have to determine how to respond to the law, or forego doing business in the EU altogether. It is so little understood that businesses dealing with compliance are open to these shenanigans. How do you expect people to verify the requests exactly? How does the requester prove identity to the business? The best response for non EU black hats might be to request removal of the identify information for business directors and CEOs in the EU. Would be funny to see such silliness played out there in the land of unintended consequences. Another fine mess herein enacted into law. About as reasonable as the Brexit mess; people seem willing to drive over a cliff rather than think things through and be reasonable. I blame climate change and the growth of idiocracy through media, but neither compares with the ability of persons to suspend disbelief and buy into the latest fad of pure horse manure. Expect that at this rate, people will soon drink mercury again to cure what ails them, and eat lead paint to add minerals to their diet. We've lost the idea of progress in favor of the flavor of stupidity of the month.
