You cannot claim that GDPR is a good law, not with the galaxy-sized loophole where you can track the vast majority of people just like before, as long as your annoy them first.
Better than nothing, sure, but not good.
- howaboutnope 5y agoI didn't say it's perfect, but it's surely better than it's presented by people who get nothing about it right.
- Nextgrid 5y agoThe GDPR explicitly disallows "annoying" users into granting consent. Here are the ICO guidelines about it: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/lawful-basis-for-processing/consent/ https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... If you annoy users into clicking "accept" then you are in breach and may as well just track users without asking at all.
- nikster 5y agoThe only reason for the GDPR is to get more government control on your daily interactions. People are out of their mind to think that governments are working to "protect" them - hello? Govern ment means to rule the mind, mind control, that's the word, and the main mind control governments are interested in perpetuating is to make you believe you need them. If people didn't think they need their government, there would be no more governments - and they couldn't control us. Logically, if I was the government, I would mainly work on making sure that people think they need me. I would have every incentive to create catastrophes, pandemics, wars, in fact I would have every incentive to create any problem that has, as its solution, more governmental control.
