The abstract points to totally unbiased science /s
GDPR is way overrated. For most businesses it was a minor annoyance, but the benefits are nowhere to be found. Our data is mashed potatoes now (GPTs) and will forever be. Politicians loved GDPR because it gives them +100 undeserved virtue points.
The real problem with BigTech is the addictiveness , and we are only beginning to wake up to it

- remus 2y ago> ...but the benefits are nowhere to be found. I disagree pretty strongly: - Loads of companies now have tools for getting copies of all the personal data they hold on you e.g. google takeout, which is a direct consequence of GDPR. - Companies are punished for improper handling of personal data e.g. data breaches (though you could definitely argue that more should be done here) - The US government's lacklustre approach to data privacy has been repeatedly laid bare (https://www.gdprsummary.com/schrems-ii/ https://www.gdprsummary.com/schrems-ii/), leading to better data residency practices e.g. many services now have a "store data in the EU" option Not to say there aren't a lot of dodgy things happening in the data collection world, but to say the benefits are "nowhere to be found" is an exaggeration.
