No, companies wanting to track everyone who uses their websites / sell user-behaviour data to advertisers made the Internet significantly worse. The EU just made it visible. [EDITED to add:] Actually, not even that. The companies doing the creepy tracking/spying/selling chose to make their compliance as objectionable as possible, I think deliberately in order to try to make anti-creeping measures look bad. The internet could be much less obnoxious and still perfectly compatible with EU regulations. Companies wanting to exploit you on the internet chose to comply in as obnoxious a way as possible.
