There's currently no case law surrounding GDPR. Moreover, some elements of the GDPR are up for interpretation. People are rightfully concerned.

The GDPR is not completely new, though; it's a reformulation and extension of the existing Data Protection Directive, which was implemented back in 1995.

For people and businesses in the EEA, the GDPR is much less of a change, because we already had to comply with data protection law. The rest of the world may be less prepared.
