Shouldn't I, the creator, be able to say "consent to having cookies or don't use my site?"
No, especially not if you're a monolopoly like Facebook or Google. For non - monopolistic sites the GDPR encourages other monetization business models such as subscriptions instead of collecting and then profiling user data.
- umvi 8y agoFacebook and Google are not monopolies. There are good and plentiful alternatives to both. At any rate, seems like GPDR punishes the freemium model which in turn punishes the poor. If I make my site subscription only then I either have to have the subscribers subsidize the free users, or bar non-paying users from my site...
- Spearchucker 8y agoOr you might have the affluent subsidize the poor. Or come up with something entirely new. And they are monopolies in that between them they are advertising on the internet. Also using social media that is like a Facebook property in function but isn't Facebook places the user into a social media desert. Gmail in its domain is similar.
