It has nothing to do with eurocrats but with the anal probes media companies insist to give any visitor.
And it’s a wrong usage of error 451 which will do harm to the concept of making censorship visible.
Plus it does not even work consistently, I can read the article after reloading.
- dmix 7y agoSo why did they do it in the first place? Regardless if they did it wrong they did it for a reason.

- C14L 7y agoInvasive tracking is still possible. What those companies do not want is to invest big money into "advisors" that help them to be complient with GDPR. A law that was not even made by their own government. Complience not only means "get consent". There is a long list of things you have to do, regardless of who or what you are tracking. And then you still don't have certainty if you are all legal, because there are so many details that courts will have to interpret first. And then they may be interpreted differently in different EU countries (because we all have our own national version of GDPR!) So, in conclusion, study this: https://gdpr.eu/ https://gdpr.eu/ or simply block users you don't care about anyways.
