Unfortunately, small guy gets a pass but medium/large businesses have an ever increasing difficulty in operating in EU. This might sound like a positive thing but it is tremendously troubling. Corporations employ a lot of people and if they leave, EU would see poverty like never before.
I was involved in GDPR laws and lot of small biz in EU straight up do not follow GDPR and the chances of getting fined in EU courts is pretty negligible. But, if you're a 500 employee company, you're going to have to maintain an army of GDPR consultants and attorneys at your disposal to keep in compliance.
