When the GDPR became applicable on 25 May 2018, it was perceived as a watershed moment. The past 4 years have shown that a law alone does not change business models.

    i didn’t read the article, but i’m inferring that it says the last 4 years have shown it to be ineffective. from personal experience i can say that digital privacy has improved greatly for me over the last 4 years, and i consistently have seen companies having to back off because of GDPR and provide more and better options. perhaps i’m misattributing some things to GDPR that were actually due to coincidence, consumer pressure, or some other reason, and perhaps my idea of significant improvement is a lot smaller than others’. still i personally believe that GDPR is responsible for much better digital privacy for me and many others, and though it obviously doesn’t accomplish everything, it does plenty for legislation meant to grant general privacy to the general population

    GDPR is non-existent while government asking you for your medical conditions.
