As I recall, when the GDPR was first introduced there was a big
scary threat attached to it that the EU government was going to
pursue every violation and rake violators over the coals (through the
court systems, of course), levy heavy fines (that would instantly
bankrupt most small companies), and even extradite violators from any
country in the world if need be.
It was quite the boogeyman ... or maybe they're just busy right now?
