I initially only installed “Comodo Firewall” but for some reason they also installed a “Comodo Dragon Browser”, which I did not consent to. I always choose the “advanced” installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won’t be able to uninstall the software…

            Wait a minute, you’re saying that in every web input field I develop, I have to create checks to make sure the entered value isn’t personal data? Boy, that will add quite a bit of work.

              If you hold any data about people in Europe then that falls under GDPR, regardless of what the data is. It does get more complex if they data is sensitive or confidential.

      I’ll defend everybody’s right to run Arch or Manjaro then they are in full control of what software runs on their kernel.

      Not sure about GDPR, but where I live there actually is the right to uninstall software. In fact, Apple got sued and lost for not allowing downgrading iOS versions.
