    You mean the GDPR, the amazing piece of legislation that allows any user to see all the tracking websites do and even allows the user to limit said tracking, just by deselecting some toggle switches?

    Incidentally, it’s mostly people who know NOTHING about technology who keep complaining that it’s sooo hard to click a button.

      Besides this: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/10/tech/eu-us-data-sharing-deal/index.html

      Overwhelming people with information doesn’t work, never worked. Do you think the majority of people in Europe care about accepting all the consents that come up when they open a web page? Incidentally they don’t come up when they open the web through their phone application, which is what majority of people browse.

      The EU legislators don’t know tech, and don’t understand people. I am pro-eu like most of my countrymen but it’s absurd not to critize some of their choices, even if they have good intentions.
