Am I the only one who thinks that the expectation that you should be OK giving up your data is Orwellian?

It's Orwellian agreed. I would love for companies to only ask for the data that they absolutely needed. I think a lot of people just go with the default and don't fight not because they don't care but because they don't have the energy or inclination or even the awareness.
This is where a lot of the EU regulations tend to be good. They seem to be making the most strides in consumer protection
It would make me so happy if Canada adopted GDPR
