No. The GDPR is not a conspiracy.
It just couldn't be enforced if done that way.
You know you've sat too long in your informationwar hole when one of the best things to ever come out of the EU for its citizens is turned "the plan".
"The Plan" is a fight against billions and billions of lobby money and threats of withdrawing services, yet the EU keeps fighting Big Tech on multiple layers.
Use firewalls like Lockdown HQ and Blokada to not have any problem with GDPR. The ad networks are just filtered out, no need to "uncheck" them.
