GDPR has very little to do with dark patterns, nag screens, or online tracking?
> "all the rest of it is a terrible idea"
Having a legal right to ask a company for a copy of all the data they have on you is terrible?
Having a right to ask a company to correct errors in data about you, or delete data about you, that's terrible?
A company having to tell you what they intend do with data about you and stick to it for the threat of a big fine, that's bad?
you didn't get to read all post did you
there are bits, but the total package is cancer
yes I did read all your post. It seems to have incorrect claims.
> "i completely reject it, because people seem to believe it's there to protect any rights"
Under "Your rights" section on the UK government website you can see that it grants you rights, so people have good reason to believe that: https://www.gov.uk/data-protection
How does it nag people? How does it legitimise dark patterns? What is in it regarding tracking? How does it push people to concentrate their services in a bad way? The GDPR is not just for websites, it's for all dealings with companies.
