The poison slipped into your morning coffee is also less intrusive than the antidote shot into your arm with a syringe.

And thanks to the GDPR, they might make a comeback now.
- nickpp 8y agoI'm afraid in this case the antidote was worse than the disease. GDPR is here already and the solution chosen by websites is either the obnoxious banner or blocking Europe. No cookie-less I am afraid...
- toxik 8y agoSo ban the EU then. The market will find another venue if the service is useful enough. If a website is obnoxious about its GDPR compliancy, I just close it. Coincidentally, it has never happened on something I really needed (technical documentation, scientific journals, etc.) I don't necessarily agree with how the GDPR was created, or maybe even why, but to say it's worse than the information tyranny being built in the world today? Pft.
