Most companies do not comply with GDPR, and it's not about the minutia, it's about just very basic concepts regarding user data and privacy. I'm a US expat and honestly its extremely frustrating to try to use sites I formerly was able to access (with µblock) due to either absolutely obtrusive and confusing opt-in/out policies (e.g., Oath) or complete rejections/refusal of anyone with an IP outside the US (this is exceptionally frustrating as I don't even live in the EU, but because the lazy solution of applying the GDPR block to any non-US address is often used, I cannot read many US new sites) Global companies have __not__ adapted to GDPR, and instead have just dragged their feet. I'm curious if the EU is going to do anything about it for sites that frequently do business in the EU, or if they will start enforcing actual GDPR policies on the big players (for example, Google is a beast to use in any EU member nation if you choose not to grant consent for data collection by just using element blocking) The idea that companies have complied with GDPR does not mesh with my experience actually trying to use websites in the Schengen Area. And I don't blame GDPR, I blame companies for the insane amount of data and tracking they want for viewing even a minute amount of content.
