I dont think we are talking about the same thing. I am talking about: “There might well be a market for personal data, just like there is, tragically, a market for live human organs, but that does not mean that we can or should give that market the blessing of legislation. One cannot monetise and subject a fundamental right to a simple commercial transaction, even if it is the individual concerned by the data who is a party to the transaction."

Anyway, I was talking about social network requiring your phone number, not market requiring to log in with social network id. And you are talking about bussines where there is a bussines transaction. I am talking about site you surf to.

And you are talking about bussines where there is a bussines transaction. I am talking about site you surf to. OK. That was not clear at all to me! Now that I understand that, I understand what you were trying to say a lot better. I still don't think we materially disagree with each other, though. There are lots of sites that are good examples for GDPR. I think it is absolutely true that none of them are trying to harvest and sell your data! I don't see how that could be the case. If you use that as your criteria, I don't think it is possible that you will find an example. Should those sites be banned from the web? I'm not sure, but it wouldn't bother me, that's for sure!
