The GDPR most certainly has not failed, in fact it is gathering steam. Compliance is increasing, more and more consumers are becoming aware that this law is working to their benefit, and fines are getting more substantial against those companies that have unilaterally decided the GDPR does not apply to them.
Of all the legislation that has come out of Brussels I would count it up next to the successes, similar to the roaming charge law and the one about phone chargers.
Gathering steam is right - people often underestimate the power of nation states (and blocs of nation states) because they can take a while to react. But it's like steering a supertanker - slow to turn, but once they're finally going in the intended direction they're impossible to ignore.
