GDPR is a mere experiment, no one knows how the law will shake out...

Hardly an experiment. It's EU law with the ECJ as ultimate arbiter. It's been drafted based on cases with non-EU companies, which is why fines can be turnover based. Previous ECJ judgments against non-EU companies have been upheld.

Seeing as how easy it is to persuade people that "they've nothing to hide" I don't see why companies aren't being smarter about this.
