> ...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.
