Yes, hence the issue with photographs of events of our children.

I'm not convinced yet it is a net positive. For sure it increased senseless bureaucracy by a huge margin (not just the clicks on web sites, it creates more work in other places, too).

The real players collect just as much data as before, but private people can't do most basic things anymore.

I'm not convinced yet that it isn't a net positive, given that a lot of what you described is illegal according to it, and said illegal behavior is being punished

"a lot of what I describe" - you mean big players collecting even more data? Not really illegal, you just have to get the users to consent somehow. Which most do anyway.

So taking photographs of your children's life's events? Or what are you referring to?
