It's funny how the Trump supporters always forget that the government wasn't monitoring communications from the Trump campaign at all.

The fact that they swept up Trump campaign communications was simply the result of the Trump campaign workers being in contact with known Russian intelligence operatives.
What are the chances that the real goal of this is to get a legal precedent set that says search engines are liable for anything that happens on any web site they list in their search results?

That's not going to happen, and for one simple reason. If the power is moved away from the platform and out to the end user, the platform won't be able to suck up all the private information they make their money from. This undermines the business model of pretty much every internet platform out there.
While I think overall the GDPR is a bad law, I won’t be crying any tears over problems it causes for the advertising industry. Laws like the GDPR are a direct result of careless use and abuse of personal data by corporate advertisers.
