Given how many sites blatantly ignore or violate GDPR (no opt-out, etc) I'd say there doesn't seem to be any enforcement. At the moment, GDPR is just scare-mongering but in the end is just as useless as the previous privacy directives. I wish this would change but I'm not holding my breath for it. > Had anyone on HN had experience with people / companies / institutions abusing GDPR? Any site that gives you a consent box with the bullshit tracking enabled by default, or that lets you know they use cookies with no way to opt-out. Per GDPR tracking should be opt-in so even pre-ticked checkboxes aren't allowed. The only site that I've seen do this right is Quartz. They have a simple modal "we use tracking for X and Y", do you want to allow or deny?
