Hi, European software engineer here, working for a medical SaaS company (we work with a lot of sensitive data). GDPR has not been an issue for us. If you take the proper measures to store your customers' data the right way, you can pretty much automate responses to GDPR requests and, as has been mentioned, you can ask for a reasonable fee. What I see is that there are mainly two arguments here against GDPR, both of them a little silly. Argument #1 is that companies suffer because GDPR can be abused. This is only the case for companies who don't take proper privacy measures, and honestly, GDPR's requirements are pretty sensible in this regard from a consumer point of view. I understand that converting to a compliant infrastructure is difficult for companies who got used to doing whatever they want with user-data, but maybe those companies should have been more privacy-minded from the beginning. The other argument is the annoying GDPR banners. Yes, they are annoying. But I'd pick them any time over not having any control over my privacy. I think in the end ridiculing Europe for its extensive regulations might come down to a difference in culture. In Europe, the US is getting ridiculed for the exact opposite. Besides, if you take a single glance on the website of this product, you can see that it's satire. You guys should lighten up.

Pros: makes it easy to use the rights gotten under GDPR Cons: made in bad faith (to waste people's time) rather than good faith (to help people protect their privacy). The only reason GDPR requests should be hard to handle is if you haven't set up your systems to handle them. You know these are the rules, you have written a privacy policy (I hope you do) and in that process you should carefully consider which information is stored where and how much of it is actually useful. Almost all business have rules to protect the public at large from undue harm and there's really no reason software development should be any different.
