Uhhh so your argument is the law is vague and everyone is in violation but it’s okay because if you try to be somewhat compliant the EU won’t attack you. Yeah, lawfully that’s not something a business can roll the dice with.

Yet it’s what every business currently operating in the EU has been doing since May 25, and the world hasn’t ended yet

It’s utterly pointless to design a law that is ineffective in protecting users and also impossible to comply to and still be vulnerable to audits even after you spent millions to vaguely comply.

But that’s what bad laws can cause. That’s why I don’t take this lightly and just call to a “beta test”. There’s no such thing as a beta testing of a law. It’s impacting real peoples lives trying to pay mortgages in countries not even in the EU. Digital law has global effects
