Globally destroying web experience by mandating super-useless, super-obnoxious Cookie prompts on all web pages is one thing, but setting things up for "Equilibrium" or "1984" type of society is a whole new level, and I'm not sure if sheer stupidity can be claimed on this one.

- hungryforcodes 5y agoThis actually makes the most sense.
- skocznymroczny 5y ago> Have we learn nothing from communism? no? I mean, right now in most countries instead of "to protect the children" you could use the excuse of "to stop misinformation", "to prevent damage from antivaxxers" and the majority will cheer your censorship efforts.
