1. If I am writing it down, as my analogy suggests, it is not forgotten.
2. I understand what it's about.
If you want to make tracking people and linking things together illegal, great.
However, my argument in response to the OP intended to illustrate that recording information about someones actions, particularly when it's a party who is part of the interaction creating the recording, does not seem to have some preexisting moral expectation or attached to it.
Hence, to me at least, the GDPR's directives are not objectively reasonable or obvious in some way as suggested by the OP.
I also think forbidding certain uses of the data is more reasonable than to regulate its collection and storage. But yes, that's probably riskier and harder to enforce.
