> The point is that users should be in control of their data, and when they give it to someone they have the right to know what it is used for and to be able to retract consent for its usage.
See, I disagree with this very premise. Why is it true? It's _not_ my data; it's data about me. Even things like pictures, once shared, are no longer under my control. I actually feel it's fundamentally dangerous to make users think they actually control data they don't.
> If you care about your users privacy (which is what GDPR is trying to enforce)
I also disagree with this. The GDPR doesn't do anything to make companies handle my data more carefully or responsibly.
