I'm super happy the law is hopefully finally starting to get some teeth. I sincerely hope it gets successfully tested in court, and that lawyers will smell money in slamming down on companies trying to blatantly fake their way out of GDPR by cheating users into "accepting" the pre-GDPR status quo.
As a european i disagree. This is not a good ruling for anyone who has their business in europe. It reads petty and kinda-insane. And i just don't get the "suck it americans" kool-aid that the whole of the EU is into atm.
