So I should be afraid of litigation?

Then wtf is the point of GDPR if nobody will be sued for violating it?

Discourse, disqus good job nit picking.

How about you try answering this question I posed to you What is your point here? What is your point when you say that the EU is not litigious? Are you saying that I shouldn't expe…

Is the law only effective at protecting privacy in your mind if it kills Facebook's and Google's business model? Because I suspect that is what GDPR advocates truly want.

You mean the consent like not going on the website in the first place? And if all GDPR was just a bunch of consent forms it wouldn't even be a problem. GDPR is bad/onerous for the …
