    In the real world, fines are a cost carried to the customer. So even with GDPR, the customer is still the loser in the situation.

        So fines come with a requirement that a company can’t raise prices to recoup them?

          Do you think companies aren’t already pricing their products at the maximum they think the market can bear?

              Products are already priced at the point that will make them the most profits. That point doesn’t magically change when fines happen.
