With GDPR, blanket "opt-ins", I.e. clickwrap, won't suffice. People need to give informed consent, meaning key uses of personal data must be explained in plain language. Hopefully this will lead to a lot less abuse of I Agree

On what do you base that statement? Just because many companies and startups are U.S.-based, does not mean that universal privacy laws/rights are targeting U.S. companies. From my understanding, the GDPR applies equally to all companie
