New rules were meant to protect our privacy. They don’t work
- Nextgrid 7y agoThis article is incorrect; sites that track you by default and make it inconvenient to opt-out are actually in breach of the regulation. According to the GDPR, collection of personal data for non-essential purposes (and no, ads & analytics aren’t considered essential) should be opt-in. The main problem of the GDPR is the lack of enforcement. Google & Facebook are still around despite their whole business model is based on violating the GDPR. If they still haven’t been fined, it’s sad but understandable that most other websites don’t bother becoming compliant.
