This weakens your privacy with regards to sharp governmental powers, something the GDPR never strengthened or addressed to begin with due to its categorical exemption of law enforcement. Well, competent law enforcement (if you needed a laugh).

And to all the EU cheerleaders about to educate me how, thanks to the GDPR, my local municipality has to treat my email with care when I go ask for a building permit: go gaslight your grandma instead.

"Competent" in this usage means "empowered" not "proficient".
