In all likelihood, it wouldn't be enforced against small fry, but it may be. The fact is that running something like that costs time and money. If what you get in return is legal threats and more demands, maybe you just don't bother anymore.

What kind of future is there for flouting these laws? GDPR and Article 13 are rarely enforced against small fry, but they are. And all I see, even on lemmy, are demands for more laws and more enforcement. When somebody gets busted, it's their own bloody fault for having ignored the law for years and being so recalcitrant.
