Laws like GDPR are written in such away that make them open to "legal trolls" in the US we have several of these laws that are routinly used to extort settlements out of small business. These laws are generally viewed as good laws with good intentions but because of their poor wording are open to massive interpretation and thus abuse.

Patent, Copyright and Disability Access laws in the US are to examples commonly Abused laws for this type of behavior

The problem is the legal system in most nations are setup in away that gives the guilty and the wealthy an advantage over the innocent with limited resources

Laws and Legal Systems should be

1. Very Specific and not open to interpenetration

2. Have options for "settlement" as this rewards the guilty, and harms the innocent

3. Have more public resources for people with limited resources. Law firms and Large corporations use Legal Expenses has a weapon in Civil Courts over smaller companies due to the high costs and generally no public resources for Civil access

4. All Civil Cases must have to show Actual Damages not Theoretical Damages

that would be a start
