Yeah, you're exactly one of those GDPR advocates I was describing. You say this:

> There is noting wrong with tracking

But then you turn around and describe tracking as "scummy," "parasites," and "invading privacy."

Again, I would find it less objectionable to just make tracking illegal than this "informed consent" bullshit (which is mostly not actually informed consent because no one wants to spend the time to be informed about every fricking decision here, it's just a website).



> But then you turn around and describe tracking as "scummy," "parasites," and "invading privacy."

I assume reading comprehension isn't your strong point!

I described the ad-tech industry in those terms. Not genuine services who need to use my personal data and to whom I grant informed opt-in permission!

I'm genuinely puzzled why this (and the GDPR principles in general) appears to be an alien concept to many who should know better.
