How? I mean, why are you offended by this attempt to curb the data that companies can collect on you without your consent?

How this reads: How are you offended by attempts to curb terrorism? How are you offended by attempts to save the children?

We can agree on intent and disagree on practice. I disagree with the GDPR in practice, but agree with its intent. I think there are many other ways to tackle these problems, and this is probably the worst one (especially to start with assuming this is the first really enforced one).
