Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from “social” media?
Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay… :)

Nice! Thank you EU for the GDPR!
For the next step, please let the companies that produce software be held accountable for damages. For Nonprofits change the target to associated companies. Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries. If the library was insufficiently supported by the developer, then the developer has no ground to sue for damages themselves.
What??
You write shitty code and it breaks something? You should be punished accordingly.
You load libraries without checking each and every one and now something’s broken? You should be punished accordingly.
You load proprietary code and now something’s broken? You better checked the whole contract so you can punish the creators after you’ve been punished.
Software developers often have way more reach (over distance and over time) than they realize. They should be held accountable more like doctors or engineers.
