So now 270 websites just have more compliant irritating banners…

  Well, they don't need to. They just need to turn off the tracking of users and they don't need any banners. The problem is not in GDPR. The problem is in the website owners. They are the one who are trolling you with banners.

    They weren’t trolling me with the banners before the law. Now they are still tracking users and the user experience is worse.

      Weird to blame regulation for how private entities act. Entities whose focus and goal are maximizing profits. I hope I don’t need to give citations for how the basics of our societies economic system works. Though I’m sure we can find “experts” at hundreds of think tanks simping for big business disagreeing.

        Legislation forced private entities to act that way. They weren’t forced to make any substantial changes.

        How would less legislation force any change?

        If I don’t want to use a phone or browser backed by an adTech company - I don’t. Since most analytics is browser side, I can block tracking via a content blocker on my computer and my phone. I can choose a different search engine, etc. It’s called free will.

        Yes, free will. Good thing we are all born on an even playing field and then are given an even playing field for our childhoods. That way it doesn’t break our brains to blame the common man vs the actual status quo. What we really need is the principled and ever consistent hypocrisy (that always seems to be benefit the person) of most libertarians/sympathizers. When they are doing well…no regulation or taxes or safety nets. Someone else does something wrong because the system sucks? That person is at fault. Oops something doesn’t go well for the person. Now they want action. Make things whole. A quirky recurring example of this are grifters like Mark Cuban following this to a tee with crypto. Or even funnier, the reversal of Eth after the legitimate DAO attack or wanting FDIC sort of insurance any time things don’t benefit them! I understand the desire to want to fuck. All the time. Yet never wanting to be fucked.
