Google, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp have been hit with privacy complaints within hours of GDPR taking effect Friday.
Privacy-advocacy group Noyb.eu said the four companies are forcing people to adopt a “take it or leave it” approach with regard to privacy — essentially demanding that users submit to intrusive terms of service.
The group is run by Austrian data privacy activist Max Schrems, who compared that choice to a “North Korean election process.”
