> what's changed is that GDPR is now law when it wasn't for the past couple of years.

That just isn't true, the GDPR has been law for the last two years and before that there was a law with roughly the same (say 80% or so) components.

That the law got ignored we can agree on.

You're absolutely, completely, 100% correct! Please accept my deepest apologies for being unclear.

Until May 25, GDRP which has been law for years did not take full effect. It's possible that some people made choices based around which laws are in full effect, rather than what is law, for reasons that might at times be other than negligence or malice.

Again, please accept my apologies for being unclear. Please let me know if there's anything else I can clarify!
