It's not like Google really cares about the GDPR though. Pretty much none of their stuff complies with it.

I'm European, and pretty happy that the GDPR exists, but even I can't deny that a law is just as strong as the ruler's capacity to enforce it, and I'm a bit sceptical about the EU's ability to effectively govern the whole internet.
