Basically, GDPR has had exactly the opposite effect compared with its intended goal - everybody's got popup-fatigue, so 99% of people just click "Accept" without reading the consent alert, thus giving almost every site out there (and their partners) permission to use their personal info and tracking data. To go back later and revoke that permission for every site you've ever clicked "Accept" on is basically impossible.
There are certain USA sites that just will not allow you to visit (VPN is handy though).
And if you have ever tried to get to look at any site owned by 'Oath' you have to go to each of the dozens of individual partner websites to configure your data permissions. Life is too short.
I just don't bother rather than click 'accept', but I'm probably not in the 99%, but possibly on the spectrum
I wouldn't have an Amazon device in my house. Nothing to do with privacy (I've got a Google account...), just a pathetic attempt to resist their march to e-commerce world domination.
I will not have one in the house. Similarly, every time I buy a new laptop I put electrical tape over the webcam.
Ain't nobody filming me jacking off to midget porn.
Spoken like someone that has never read Orwell or Kafka.
