Where are all the people who were saying GDPR is fine to be underspecified because European governments are benevolent and will choose to be good even when they don't have to?
I also was afraid the Romanian government (and other autocratic governments) will do a poor job translating the GDPR into national law.
In theory the Soviet Union and other communist governments had lots of laws outlining a fair and equal treatment of citizens, in practice they were disappearing people.
It's a minor miracle we have it at all.
The enemies of privacy, advertising drones, the brainwashed and careless love to attack it because it's hitting their pockets or making them click away some inconvenient pop-up.
It protects the massive corporate interests while encumbering startups and offering governments another way to abuse people.
All that while bringing ZERO benefits. Please tell me ONE way my life is better since GDPR. It's been a little while, after all.
One of these companies was an airline. They would share the price you paid (meal you chose, etc.) with among others, a company specializing in "individualized pricing". Meaning: if you flew business class, the telecom company might just not show you the cheaper options next time your contract is up for renewal.
