EU regulation just ruins tech in my opinion.
GDPR was great in principle but all we ended up with was annoying cookie pop ups.
Apple did a much better job with App Tracking Privacy.
And not, EU so regulating that to make it worse
- lmc 4y ago> GDPR was great in principle but all we ended up with was annoying cookie pop ups. Read through this list - there's more than just cookie popups: https://www.tessian.com/blog/biggest-gdpr-fines-2020/ https://www.tessian.com/blog/biggest-gdpr-fines-2020/
- the_duke 4y agoThe problem with GDPR is underspecification and bad enforcement because the agency of the country where the company is registered is responsible, and the fuzzy nature of the law allows companies to drag out fees with long legal battles. The annoying popups are basically malicious compliance. We'll see how things play out here, but this time there are a lot of provisions that should make enforcement easier.
- orangecat 4y agoThe annoying popups are basically malicious compliance. Yes, and this should not have come as a surprise to competent regulators.
- _Algernon_ 4y agoCookie popups existed long before GDPR was even on the drawing board. I don't dispute that the cookie banner regulation is stupid, but don't twist the truth to fit your narrative. GDPR is a completely separate regulation.
