> In every GDPR related thread people complain that the law is not achieving its objectives (which you’re almost doing here also, with your “maybe it will eventually work” comment), but the law is doing exactly what it’s designed to do. I think you might be misinterpreting those comments. It's not that hard to follow GDPR, what's hard is to work around it. If you want to do exactly what you did before but you want to weasel your way around GDPR it's not impossible, unfortunately, but harder. And people are complaining about it not achieving its objectives precisely because you can weasel your way around and that's why we have those stupid 'Accept all cookies' huge buttons and 'Change settings' small ones, that later change to another big 'Accept all' and even smaller 'reject'. Stop selling user's data without their consent and GDPR is a breeze to be complaint with. Try still selling it, eliciting the consent via dark patters, and complain how hard and complicated it is.

Try to still sell that, eliciting the consent via dark patters, and complain how hard and complicated it is. So it should be safe to entirely dismiss your comment on the basis that Amazon in this case hasn’t even been accused of providing data to a 3rd party, let alone selling it?

  Selling/collecting - I'm glad that GDPR seems to treat them at almost equal footing, even harder to prosecute if you leave a huge backdoor It's my data - fuck off, I'm interested in the business you're offering, not increasing your bottom-line at the expense of my privacy and especially I don't want to have a profile of me created just because you can. If I haven't consented to it, you won't do that - simple as that

    It hasn’t been accused of the wrongful collection of data either. Not that hard to follow for sure…
