The alternative to the GDPR was endless and increasing harm to users. The "invisible hand of the market" couldn't find a solution. So now we have regulation.

The alternative to the GDPR was endless and increasing harm to users. The "invisible hand of the market" couldn't find a solution. So now we have regulation.
This is the world we live in. When the market fails to protect users, eventually there might actually be consequences.
So constructively, how do we solve this CDN problem while causing the least harm to both businesses and users? Perhaps identify assets by cryptographic signature rather than URL?
- icedchai 8y agoCan you explain what harm is being caused to users by accessing fonts off a CDN?
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoIt potentially opens them up to tracking by whoever operates the CDN.
- icedchai 8y agoSounds like FUD. You can say this about any web server. Also, "tracking" doesn't imply actual harm or abuse.
