Excellent. Then maybe some competitors will arise with products that are built with privacy in mind from the ground up.

This fake new competitors are called unemployment, low innovation, and low growth. Bureaucracy never created jobs.

I'd love to hear by what mechanism you think eliminating foreign competition will cause unemployment, low innovation, and low growth in European countries.

Unfortunately those competitors will crash and burn when their users get pissed off at the opening dialog.

You think that an opening dialog will annoy users more than having a service entirely blocked in their country?

So the rest of the world should get annoyed with the opening dialog, so that the EU doesn't have to get blocked? Sounds like this could be solved by a proper solution, which the GDPR is not.

Nope. Surely you can think of a technical solution to this problem.
