Really disappointed when I see these kinds of scare tactics. Compliance (or at least a good-faith attempt at compliance) is quite easy for small/new projects. I'm willing to bet that courts aren't out to make an example of every small infringement, and there's really no reason to discourage people from starting new projects.
Exactly. I have been in contact with the regulation authority a few times to make sure we're compliant and in all cases we found that they are super-helpful. And the GDPR is - while being CEO of an ecommerce comppany for 15 years now - the easiest and most well-written ecommerce law I have seen. Everything in it makes sense if you just read the freaking law and the recitals included in the law. Period.
