Other commenters pointed out with far more eloquence, why your accusation of absolutism is a pretty cheap rethoric trick.
But here's something else to chew on:
European regulations often benefit me, the individual, instead of corporations.
It guarantees that I don't pay 6$ a minute for a phone call from Tallinn to Tulouse. It ensures that I'm not ripped off 30 Euros for making an intereuropean money transfer, it provides my airline with a pretty good motivation not to bump me for fun and profit and it seems to work a lot better in the food safety department.
Granted, not all regulation is good regulation, but overall it seems more beneficial to society at large than to some scummy ad-tech business specifically.
