> Companies went way too far with it, so GDPR happened. It's a good thing to teach companies that going too far results in annoying laws. It's fine even if the GDPR is a loser - if everybody loses, that's.. sad, and a better law would be much preferred, but that can still be better than no laws, because its mere existence tells companies to try not to go too far. What rather happens/happened is that the hatred in the population for the EU increased a lot (as witnessed by the rise of right-wing nationalist parties, even though admittedly there also exist a lot of other reasons for this rise).
