Literally the first sentence of the GDPR:

This Regulation lays down rules relating to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and rules relating to the free movement of personal data.

No snark, this situation sucks, but after dealing with GDPR for a while it's not well understood in tech societies

I think what's needed is case studies or case law. A ruling in a court that becomes a "model" as to which the GDPR is applied.

People look at historic court cases which defines future societal behavior (like acceptance of Gay marriage in some places).

It'll take time but get there eventually, and then we'll see changes based on that.
