Can't think of a single company which did that and had any impact on me. I'm not able to read some news on a local foreign website once every few months and that's kind of everything.

We're quite literally on a thread involving a product that collected tonnes of sensitive user data without a clear opt-out mechanism while failing to be an effective custodian, after all.
Are you saying that regulation is effective? :)
