> GDPR - while we all hated it
Speak for yourself. Most users don't hate the GDPR, they hate the way companies tried to game it (very incompetently, I might add) by adding obtuse banners and modal dialogs.
As for companies: mostly US companies hated it because they previously got away with extremely abusive business models whereas EU companies were already facing similar regulations in individual EU member states.

Not speaking as a user but an architect needing to work it once though dozens of huge legacy systems .. as a user I love it. I am the biggest advocate.
