Strictly speaking I would call that the effect of companies' resisting the spirit, and in some cases letter, of the law, not an effect of the law itself.

- TeMPOraL 7y agoThe same thing happened with the "cookie law" too. The law was created to gently nudge companies away from abusive tracking, by requiring to inform users about third-party cookies. But instead of stopping to use third-party trackers, the web world has simply shown the finger to the regulators, and that's how we got cookie notices on every site. My guess is that's where GDPR got its teeth from - the regulators tried the "industry self-regulation" route before, and it failed spectacularly.
