What the EU didn't ask you wasn't whether you "wanted to be protected", it was whether you wanted a choice regarding being tracked or not. What's so upsetting about being offered a choice?

The party who is making "the solution worse than the problem" and implementing the obnoxious procedures for you to express your choice are the businesses who have the most to gain from blaming the EU on how terrible it is that they can no longer do it without the users' consent.
