Many EU countries have their own different laws about this stuff. The GDPR likely does not apply here because of the exception for "purely personal and household activities", article 2(2)(c).
Like I mentioned elsewhere, anyone is more than welcome to do what they want. I simply noticed how frequently justice decisions started to punish the photographer, whether the photo was destined at some personal use or not, whether it was sold or not.
I'm no lawyer. I simply don't want to waste anymore of my time, and money, dealing with that kind of shit. It's not worth it... to me at least but, once again, I won't prevent anyone else to keep doing photography like if nothing had changed if that's what they want... I may even sketch them if I see them taking their chance doing that ;)
