I can see that but it sounds like a long shot, I do get a lot of spam and the "good ones" don't come from cookies, in my case none came from cookies.
Most come from places where you give them your info, like phone number and address.
If you are going to do such a broad requirement, I'd like to see info on this, how many scams are run on cookies? Is the price of adding these cookie walls worth it?
To me this seems to be run on top of privacy nut jobs who don't get the real privacy threats we are facing.
I am much more concerned on broad usage of facial recognition than I am of cookies of recipes my mom reads online.
Now you can't exchange a service for data anymore, this is outlawed now, I don't know if thats good.
- belorn 6y agoIf its such a long shot I would be very happy with simpler laws that just address those issue. Let say: If data a company collects about a person end up being used by scummy call centers or data identity theft, then any victim should have the right to compensation equal to 10x of any monetary losses, and for every 100 victims the legal person responsible at the company that authorized the data collection should get 1 year in prison. No consent needed, no exceptions allowed. Just simple damages and jail time. Sadly laws are not written like that and companies would not want to exist with such sword hanging above them, so we end up with laws like gdpr that tries to have enough threats to push companies in the right direction, with mixed results.
- pedro_hab 6y agoYeah, that could have been better. But the irony is what makes me angry, the government will create such nice laws to protect us from the tyranny of corporations, when governments are collecting all types of data, specially facial recognition, which IMO are way worse than cookies.
