Amen. The law needs to change to require informed user consent.

  What would it change? I can't think of anyone from my immediate family who would ever not give permission to a popup that requested it.

  More than that. When manufacturers were letting rat poop get into the ketchup, we didn't create the FDA to make sure that "rat poop" was clearly printed on the label.

  GDPR tried to do that, and the governments charged to enforce it decided to not enforce it. It is one of the primary reason why there are people saying that only a few single digit percent of websites actually comply with GDPR, and why consent popup that most sites use do not actually conform to the law.
