> Waah the big bad EU forced companies to disclose how they are using my data!

The people that should be mocked are the EU bureaucrats that thought this was a good idea and the people that defend it.

It's a idiotic legislation that does NOTHING to protect your data. It's feel-good nonsense that EU can occasionally use as a club to extort business corporations that they want something from.

The only thing that it accomplished is to create a false sense of security in the public.

These companies are not trustworthy and neither is the EU government.

The correct solution to this problem is at the browser level and at the human level. Don't disclose information to the internet you don't want to show up on the internet.

Absolute nonsense. Tracking has to be disclosed, and is only permitted after obtaining informed consent from users. Without the law I'd have no idea what thousands of companies are doing with my data, without my consent.
