Tech companies turned the GDPR into a daily nuisance rather than a shield for people.
Exactly. So many companies wanted to make it look like "this annoying popup is here because of EU. We want to offer you a big fat ALLOW ALL to make it simple for you.. Don't mind what it means.. If you wanna know you are welcome to read this bullshit generic law text that probably has mistakes in it but you wouldn't know because you just want to read some small text snippet here and don't want to get into it".
