It sounds like you agree that forcing people to read and agree to individual portions of the ToS is not a downside of GDPR, since we should all be doing that anyway.
I don't agree nor disagree. The comment I replied to was talking about the past, and in the past, the laws were different and consent was given according to them. I deliberately didn't say if I support GDPR or not, it doesn't matter; the comment said "without your consent" which is simply not true.
