The coming EU privacy regulation will end up remaking the world's web

You are misrepresenting with your examples what these EU laws (GDPR) mandate. Go google GDPR.

Yeah. Like maybe the ones these are meant to combat? Trying to give people back their privacy? Mandating they be at the very least informed if their private data has been stolen? Allowing them to make a company delete their data instead of that company being able to keep it in perpetuity and selling it on?

Do you have me confused with someone else?

I have not been arguing against the GDPR. In fact, I am very much for it. I said it was not like the recent online hate speech laws (Germany, not EU), which I strongly dislike. Someone had lumped both together under the “good, but doomed to fail” heading.

And I have given no examples of what the GDPR mandates, so I can’t have misrepresented it.
