> This is all public data
It's important to know that generally this distinction is not relevant when it comes to data subject rights like GDPR's right to erasure: If your company is processing any kind of personal data, including publicly available data, it must comply with data protection regulations.
That's all fine. But until someone requests their information to be deleted, it is still public.
Legal has in no way been able to keep up with AI. Just look at copyright. Internet data is public and the government is incapable of changing this.
By design, yes. AI companies are taking "move fast and break stuff" to its logical extreme.
Eventually, it will catch up. Whether the punishment offsets the abuse is yet to be seen (I'm not holding my breath).

Incapable or unwilling (paid for by those who want to grab more data)?
They will not be punished, e.g. uber and Airbnb were never really punished despite blatantly ignoring the law.
I would claim incapable but it doesn't really matter, outcome is the same.
GDPR won't protect you nor will data privacy laws. Most of the world simply doesn't care enough. I wish it were different.
