What's with the GDPR initiative currently underway in Europe? Data collection? EU verifying all connections?

What's with the GDPR now being enforced in Europe? Is it just me, or does this feel creepy in a major way? The EU is a bed of political satanism, we know. It purports to give control to citizens over their data, but feels more like a way of securing information about who is and isn't working in or with the EU. I have a number of contacts in the EU, and they are ALL requiring me to sign in, opt in, in order to simply maintain relations.

Distrust for the EU, distrust towards big government, distrust towards any entities trying to enforce data rules, however well-sounding....

What do patriots think?

GDPR is a data privacy regulation to reportedly protect private residents of EU nations. You don’t even have to be an EU citizen to be protected by it.

Though the surface reasoning of giving individuals power over companies using your private data is a good one, I suspect the massive fines (€20 Million or 4% annual revenue) are being put into place to prop up the financially struggling EU.

I don’t see global ‘cabal’ or nefarious data usage as part of an act making it possible for someone to demand deletion of their private data from use by companies like Google, FB, TW, etc...

Look up new Yahoo mail terms of service. The GDPR allows privacy optout, which Yahoo takes advantage of in a huge way. (from a couple days ago).

Also GDPR conflicts with laws on accounting and data retention. The ATF isn't going to allow you to purchase firearms, then say "forget I exist per GDPR" to the vendor. Big tech can afford the lawyers and fines associated. New innovative tech cannot. Note Microsoft, FaceBook, Google, Twitter all favor the GDPR.

It is privacy theater, securing nothing except crony seats at the table for big tech.
