This #GDPR complaint against #YouTube for illegally gathering user data with explicit consent gives me a lot of optimism that it is possible to defeat the "free" #tracking business models and bring back real freedom in media distribution to the internet. Paying with your data and privacy gives the illusion of freedom when getting media on the internet. These regulations will pop that bubble if the #EU actually enforces them.
