So you're going to make the decision of what constitutes "respecting my privacy" for every single person in the EU?

Me? No. That's what the legislation does.
s/you/politicians. And your original comment implies you agree with it.
Yes, I agree with having my privacy protected. Do I think the legislation is perfect? No, but I think I already made that clear.
> Yes, I agree with having my privacy protected.

This is equivocating.

The issue is not whether you agree with having your privacy protected. The issue is deciding what constitutes "respecting privacy" for every single person in the EU, and threatening people with violence if they disagree.
