I think part of what I adore most about GDPR is how it gives me, as a user, control over how corporations are storing my data in their database. I don't necessarily have any expectation of privacy. A lot of it is public data (my email for example). But maybe I just don't want my email to be in a particular database and be used every which way, because I never consented to that particular corporation using my personal data as part of their business strategy. I'm not just talking about "I signed up to Facebook". I'm talking about "I explicitly didn't sign up to facebook, and yet their Like button is tracking me across the web". It's also things like the right to rectify that I appreciate a lot. Less so on startups, who nowadays have a clue how to do simple user profile forms, and more so for, once again, big corporations who have decided that real names never change, even if the CSR who signed you up over the phone completely misspelled it. I don't think GDPR is as much about privacy as it is about control.
