- danso 8y agoForbid what exactly? The storage and use of user data? That would forbid virtually every web service.

- danso 8y agoAgain, can you provide specifics. I clicked through the HN link to see a debate over what GDPR contains and whether that applies to FB’s implementation. I’m not from the EU so I’m not able to see the interaction flow based on a screenshot. What happens when you select “Reject All”, for instance?
- pluma 8y agoYou can't disable the "required" ones, even though they're obviously not all technically required to serve the content.
- Nursie 8y agoYeah it surprised me too that "Ad selection" was listed as a required thing. Seems wrong.
- Semaphor 8y agoIt does. It's just that so far no smaller sites have been brought to court (smaller as in not FAANG sized). I assume these things will change a few years down the line. For those downvoting OP, could you please provide reasoning? GDPR is pretty clear that you need to be able to not opt into tracking.
