No one is opening those emails about privacy updates

only becuase they offer zero ways to control data sharing and communication. it is a legal document, and as such as dense, useless, and meaningless for non-lawyers (even for lawyers not currently involved in litigation with either parties)

absolutely none of those email help the sender gets any closer to be gdpr compliant, but we knew that since the cookie fiasco. just more of the same.

where is everyone who were saying they would send the "nightmare gdpr letter to google" on day 1 of gdpr? claiming that no company in the world could comply? I guess nobody expected useless emails and popups with no data control options to be enough for every EU regulator.

I have sent a couple of requests and waiting for a month deadline to escalate. None of the companies replied.

Pop-ups with no data control are no longer enough, but a simple "all or nothing" control is.

Why would any company decide that it's better to lose a potential customer than to let them partially opt out, is beyond me... but that's their choice if they wish so.
