They wouldn't have to do this if they didn't spew personal information indiscriminately to scumbag "partners". So yes, I do think that is worthwhile. The cost is born by the correct people.

The cost is borne by every single internet user in EU clicking countless stupid boxes every single day - for nothing.

Also by the EU users losing access to ad-supported free services.

Not for nothing, as you can see in this post. Little by little we're stopping to send private data to the US. That's a good thing, even if it's painful at the start.

>That's a good thing

Says who?! I have zero problems sending my private data to the US. I did it for years and I still think is one of the better places to send my private data to. Definitely better than my own country.

And every single user outside the EU. I never voted for these crazy runaway regulations, but I can’t browse many sites on mobile at all with all the damn banners.

EU bureaucrats are effectively prescribing how the web should work for everyone. Ridiculous.
