It's funny cause it hits the right targets (Big Tech) but the way that GDPR has become mostly a lever to do a replacement-punishment is kinda weird.
Sure, you now have a stick to beat MetaMicrosoftGoogle's money bags with but is it really about privacy? About an affirmative use that's based on an actual vision for how privacy in connected societies should work? Or is it just "I can't get you for what I feel you do wrong so I'll try to frame it as a privacy issue"? Feels like the latter.
