> legislated away one of the most profitable monetization schemes ever devised, when it used against and without the consent of European customers

Fixed that for you.

It turned it from a monetization-scheme to a donation-based scheme. Let's not lie, we know these don't work, we all know the ruse.

You mean the consent like not going on the website in the first place? And if all GDPR was just a bunch of consent forms it wouldn't even be a problem.

GDPR is bad/onerous for the following reasons

- right to have access to the information that is being stored on you

- right to be forgotten

- right to view a web page without being shown ads

If GDPR was only asking for consent + banning the sale of information to 3rd parties it would hardly have had the chilling effect it is currently having.

You mean

- right to have access to _your_ information

- right to interrupt the service and get back _your_ information

- right to view a web page _with_ ads but without obligation to give to anyone _your_ information

I don't care how you reword it, those "rights" are stupid.
