I think at this point everyone has forgotten what problem they were trying to address exactly, because they clearly haven't addressed it.
I think it was something like Google knows what you eat, or will eat, for breakfast. Ok, Facebook too and some other trillion dollar companies. That is cross websites infrastructure, data mining, etc, etc - platforms in one word. Why not apply all this to the ones doing it though, instead of making all websites responsible?
In regards to analytics, the library needs to know what book you borrowed. Sure, a website doesn't 'need' in some platonic sense to know what article was most read today, but the EU parliament clearly does.
It is a hard problem though, what they were trying to address, but arguing that they were effective beyond showing that there is an EU jurisdiction is not at this point a persuasive argument.
It's fine though. This is still a very new parliament. It can and hopefully will learn from the experience and maybe even make an effective use of that very new EU jurisdiction, like maybe break up these tech monopolies, or try.
