yea EU has really ruined the web by unleashing this crap all over the internet. Would these morons go back and reassess if it really achieved the intended outcome? I don't think so. It should be a crime to have damaged web is such way but no one will pay any price for it. We'll have to tolerate this for eternity. This topic comes up often here in HN and its always people suggesting reader-views/extensions and such to circumvent this nuisance. Which is entirely besides the point. I don't want to install some shady extensions, cure is worse than the disease.
