> GDPR had a great potential, it's sad it was unable to do it's best.

Given the massive backlash against the GDPR and "cookie walls" by newspaper publishers, it's doing a pretty good job. Can you imagine a company like Apple whipping app vendors into shape regarding data collection without GDPR pressure?

I agree GDPR did make a lot of good change. I don't mean to say GDPR was a waste. It was awesome. What i mean is, Some things (like Cookie banners) kinda defeat half it's purpose, and at times made browsing more annoying.

I'd love too see them do something about it. Amd i hope they do.
