>GDPR gives you this vote.

>GDPR says: if you want to resell data you harvest you HAVE to get their consent, in clear and understandable terms. Can't bury it in your TOS.

>GDPR says: you cannot make your website / app / service unavailable if people refuse this.

>GDPR says: you can ask companies how much and which data they got on you and they have to provide it.

>GDPR protects you from an invisible industry many people don't even know exists.

And it does it by in effect forbidding you from interacting with parties that don't follow EU mandated criteria for what needs to happen for a packet to go from A to B. I don't care about what the EU thinks is good for me, I want to interact with server X whether or not it is GDPR compliant and whether or not it's over a protocol that lends itself to this nonsense; my data is supposedly mine, so fucking let me.

How does not selling your personal information to a third party block you from visiting a website?

GDPR is fine with the selling of information, as long as you have given consent in clear language and not buried in TOS.

I think he is referring to websites that are now blocking all EU users because of GDPR.

I'm surprised companies aren't just pulling the same move porn/alcohol websites use with age by asking the user if they are an EU citizen/in the EU and if they answer yes, send them to a static "we don't service the EU" page at which point everyone just lies so they can still access the page with the tracking.
