GDPR was adopted 9 years ago. It's insane to me that people still go out of their way to know nothing about it.


It's much easier to blame the cookie banner on GDPR (which are not entirely related) than read the texts and jurisprudence about it to know how it works.

I doubt most Europeans know much about Canada’s data protection laws either, and it would be insane for me to expect them to.
