Banned from PSN on my Birthday!

You're greatly underestimate GDPR. It doesn't matter how Sony got it or whether they own it or not, if the profile contains personal data of the OP, then Sony must provide them to him (when asked). What's personal data? "personal data is any information relating to an individual, whether it relates to his or her private, professional or public life. It can be anything from a name, a home address, a photo, an email address, bank details, posts on social networking websites, medical information, or a computer's IP address."
Games aren't personal data I think. However IP address, playing time, owned devices...etc are, and with these info has a better fighting chance against Sony, well if he wants to fight them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One guy was even trying to figure out my nationality just to "expose" me as a dirty foreigner who's trying to ABUSE cancelling pre-orders. LOL.

(Most people who posted in the thread were thankfully sane).
This is true. But I think the larger concern here isn't just having your account hacked and being banned; it's the ability for companies to revoke your licenses. Which we've seen in a number of ways already.
This is an issue that one would think would be addressed at some point, but right now I'd say it's a looming storm. It'll get worse before it gets better.
Ban his account from any future purchases and online gaming, but don't revoke access to the content he's already purchased.
Banning an entire account including its purchase history should be illegal.
Nope. No way
Don't take this sitting down. I would fight this shitty company to the death for that, and you should too. Don't let up until they unban you. Good luck

Every time anyone, anywhere, posts one of these "ban" stories, there is always more to the story.
Did you just create a company and a website just to make a joke?
EDIT:
If you have the console set as your primary console, can't you still access your games without being signed in to PSN? (even if banned?)
Especially when the user is willing to give up and accept the ban after 2 phone calls. Who the hell give up that fast unless they know something that they aren't telling us
I mistakenly clicked post reply before I finished writing my post. I added this to my previous post

OK, so let's say the OP actually has a CFW PS3.
Do you agree with the ban now? It would still be BS to catch an accountwide ban for that. Even if it was a case of trophy hacking, you shouldn't lose access to your digital game library.
Yes luckily! As I said earlier, I'm missing about three games that I would call out as stuff I would play in the future. Those being DMC4, Resogun and Rocket League, the latter two being tied to PS+ anyway. So I have access to a lot of my collection still, I jumped the gun on "losing everything".
I know why they do this, I just think that it's ridiculous and should not be allowed.
The problem is, Sony has the info that his profile was on a hacked console.
Not sure what the GDPR can do when that is the point to try and prove that it wasn't him but someone else.

Was no need to disable 2 step. (Unless I missed it and you were changing numbers as well.)
Sony can provide him with details on where the console was logged in from, if it really was someone else then he could prove it by showing that he wasn't there...especially if it's in a different continent altogether and there were subsequent logins from both places in a short matter of time.
My experience with playstation customer support is the reason I won't be buying any PlayStation product for the foreseeable. So bad.
Are those companies really expect to see more people investing in their eco-systems after bullshit like this? This is ridiculous, restricting access to all your purchases should be illegal.
Pretty sure you need to enable that first and have Google's messaging app, not samsungs
No different than Sony.
Guess all these people no longer buying PlayStation will be skipping Xbox and going straight to Nintendo.
OP
OP
To all those still looking for some hidden lie or inconsistency, the OP has already confessed to using the same bad password elsewhere on the Internet and to disabling 2FA. The door was wide open. OP was asking for help with this in PlayStation Era discord and I offered to post a topic for him without being prompted.
Regardless of the discussion over digital rights, if this topic can motivate a few people to enable 2FA and start using good, unique passwords then some good will have come of this.
