I won't deny that it needs a revision since it's started interacting with the real world but I agree we ought to criticise and refine, scrapping it won't do anything beyond make people's lives worse for the sake of capital gains.
We’re criticising GDPR for all the wrong reasons
The new EU Commission is all about ‘competitiveness’, but their plans to cut data protection rules are extremely short sighted.

✂️ “Simplify”. “Streamline”. “Scale back”. Brussels is all about boosting competitiveness by cutting red tape. The intention to stimulate the economy is laudable, but there is a real risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Trimming will achieve little.
