The GDPR gets so much hate because it hits so many businesses where it hurts: data. GDPR "simply" gives you guidelines on how you can handle data from people within the EU. And that that data cannot be handled so liberally as it has been before. Of course that's annoying from a business perspective, but from an individuals privacy perspective, it's fantastic.

I think it gets "hate" from people who don't have much data but they still have to implement all the requirements, which go beyond than their own data storage. Ad-supported websites are probably the most common case here, even if the sites don't store any data themselves.

And that is a good thing. This >23 different trackers and adservers just to read crappy news content BS is so nice to be shaken.

I really love the GDPR for just making the life for such business models way harder.

Implementing data, analytics, tracking and stuff in a way that is compliant with GDPR (or its local equivalents) is doable and from an architectural point of view even interesting imho.

I love building GDPR conforming data architectures with my clients right now.
