Lmao I periodically troll my friends by sending them GDPR and CCPA notices.

If you did this to my blog, I’d let you take me to small claims or whatever. The probability of you making it all the way to prosecution and the total harm is so low that I’m not going to CCPA or GDPR enforce on my blog.

Bite me.

I hope this line would get included in discovery; I would... actually pay money to watch you explain to a judge that you explicitly decided to ignore the law.

(IANAL, but I'm pretty sure the real defense would be that the law actually doesn't apply to you)


With GDPR you can't even take it to court. That is not your option. And the agencies have lot bigger things to do. So unless you did some extremely blatant I would evaluate risks to be non-existent.
