>he problem is what happens if a legal firm or an agency targets you. Even if you adhered to the spirit of the law, they can dig up evidence that you didn't obey the letter of the law (since GDPR is quite loose and ambiguous).

>Small tech owners can't fight such litigations. I am kind of baffled how this point evades so many people in this thread.

Isn't this the same with the other laws, like copyright,trademark, patents, software licenses? I could say the same about one of this other laws, like you may have a video of you doing something cool and a bit of copyrighted music could be heard in background then you coulg get sued by a big bad law firm, the difference is that in this case the regular citizens are protected and not the budget of big music publishers.



True, GDPR simply adds one more lane from which you can be attacked. Never claimed otherwise, and you are correct.
