Previous commenter: Yes, I am completely aware that many would hate an internet without 80% of the content. And I'm aware that some of those might be making a conscious transaction when they "sell" their information/integrity/whatever, in exchange for the service or information (My guess is a tiny majority - but I have nothing to back up that guess with). So my argument is basically this 1) I don't think many understand what's being exchanged in the transaction. And I think such transactions shouldn't be allowed. So I don't think they must necessarily be "banned" outright, but they should be made very clear. And that's what the GDPR is trying to do. Not make anyone make transactions where they aren't aware what they are giving away. 2) If everyone is "aware enough" of what they are giving away, then I don't think enough people would accept it. So simply put, there is the "barren internet" or the internet that people like but for the most part because they aren't aware of what's going on. Now, Not only is it of course "my will imposed on others" (As is any legal/political argument or suggestion). But not only that, it's also a case of me arguing "people aren't clever enough to take care of their own integrity". And I stand firmly by that one as well.
