Users are enabled to set policy by disabling JavaScript execution by default. If GDPR sees an issue with current default policy, it should mandate that policy is in alignment with user expectations by default, by disabling policy. For web content, after all, doing everything on the server side is not impossible.
- xg15 5y agoWhere does it say they see an issue? They just argue that web assets are the responsibility of the site developer, not the user - which is the exact opinion site developers have as well in pretty much every other context. It's also the expectation of users: Most users aren't experts and don't know what javascript, web fonts or GET requests even are. You can't have your cake and eat it too. > Users are enabled to set policy by disabling JavaScript execution by default. They aren't. All mainstream browsers have removed the option to disable JavaScript. You have to install 3rd-party plugins to get the option back. Those plugins frequently break sites.
