> If one thinks their privacy rights are not respected they are free not to associate or contract We tried that. It didn't work. > The basis of a free society is the freedom to contract You cannot write any contract as you want. They are limited, and for very good reasons. One example is indentured servitude. It's basically a contract you voluntarily sign that binds you to work for a party for a duration of time. Does it sound reasonable at a first glance? It's considered slavery today and is almost globally banned.

People freely give away their information, giving up their rights to privacy, in exchange for services they want. I really don't see what the big deal is, and GDPR is a massive overregulation.
