The surveillance industry is very hostile to the idea of letting the public know what's going on and giving them a choice. If people consent to it after being informed, then fine. But they need to be told and asked.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoLike how everyone just clicks on "I AGREE" to the EU cookie popup without reading anything? Most people don't even read their mortgage contract carefully. People aren't ever going to read a EULA to read a recipe for chicken soup.

- robonerd 4y agoThe only places I ever read people complain about cookie consent dialogs is on forums with lots of people in the web/surveillance industry. I don't take this complaint seriously. Anyway, the forms should all be standardized government forms, not bespoke anti-pattern devices cooked up by web designers in a competition of malicious compliance.
