I do understand that it might also hit legitimate business models that many users enjoy and that it can be stressful for businesses who deal with userdata in best interests, but on the other hand there really is no way to overhaul important regulation like this without any kind of friction.
The laws need to be broad enough to apply to everyone and have the intended effect, which means that especially in the early stages with a lack of clarity and guidelines it's goig to be a little messy.
But I look at it like I'd look at a 20th century environmental regulation. Yes, it might impact genuinely good businesses, but at some point you have to do it if you want to advance user interests. I don't really see a better point than now.
