It is all common sense. Except it's hard. It's like they want to make a car 100% safe and have zero fatalities, but they also want a car that people actually enjoy driving and more important, want to buy.

Take backups as an example. Backups contain Personally Identifiable Info (PII). If someone requests to be forgotten then they need to be purged everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Except who is going to go and screw around with their backups to purge data from backups? You'd want to make a backup before such a dangerous operation, right?

It's also a little vague. It talks about a Data Subject not EU citizen, and the consensus is that this means anyone in the EU. So an Australian on holidays to the EU has the rights the GDPR instills simply by being in the EU. However, how do you prove someone's actually in the EU when they make a right to be forgotten request? What if they access the internet via a VPN or Proxy that's based in the States? Essentially you have assume the GDPR applies to everyone on the planet.

Given that there are about 100 of these types of regulations around it's become the case that you have to cater to the lowest common denominater. The burden on companies who are honestly trying to do the right thing and are barely making it through their day dealing with their actual business is overwhelming. They basically live with the Sword of Damocles hanging over them.
