The problem with GDPR is it doesn't seem to have done anything other than making every freaking web site have another pop-up that tells you "you gotta let us set a cookie or this site won't work".
I accept there may be more teeth in the background, but nobody sees that. That's all entwined with legal maneuverings in courtrooms. What we actually see on the Internet is "everything is exactly the same, but with a new pop-up".
I don't really have an answer, so it's not like I'm much help. I'm all for laws that protect, but if they don't do anything other than make things way more complicated, that's really just a boon to big tech, who can absorb the costs.
