Ah, just like the famous EU cookie policy suddenly made the internet a better place, right? Just like websites, which have become a pain in the ass, making the opt-out just painful enough so that 99% of users just click "track me anyway", this will have exactly zero positive influence.

Except that smaller services will have a very hard time complying with the EU bureaucracy (same as the GPDR, with has been nothing but a PITA for small- to medium sized businesses).
