The *MINIMUM* fine is 10M euros.
SEE: https://www.gdpreu.org/compliance/fines-and-penalties/
This is true no matter how small the business, and (potentially) even if
there was just one minor incident.
And the law is so vague and expansive - and with such massive minimum
fines - that I wonder if this might be exploited to target political
rivals/enemies? Or those who donate to such? It certainly could easily
be weaponized!
And before it even gets nearly to that point, it could also turn into
the equivalent of the tiny city of Waldo, Florida (USA) (population
1K)... who turned their police force into a speeding-ticket revenue
factory for some time before the State of FL shut them down. Certainly,
the Euro bureaucrats are incentivized.
