Lol. Nice. Anyway, let me know when the GDPR actually helps with something instead of just making the internet more of a usability train wreck.

  I'm pretty sure it has helped a lot already. The key part is the "the don't keep data around forever just because you can" part. Sure, the GDPR got a bit bloated, but I honestly believe most europeans lives got a little bit better because of it. Edit: I think you're thinking about that horrible cookie warning law. That one needs to burned to the ground.

    It's not even just European lives that got better because of GDPR, we're all benefiting from having big companies forced to comply with it. I have used the "Right to erasure" multiple times with American companies just by saying I'm from Europe.

      Awesome hack :) How are they going to begin to validate the you're a EU citizen?

        It's probably easier for most companies to just comply with all requests than to bother with verifying the citizenship of each requester.
