But that directive is a big success? I know which sites are trying to track me, and which do not. What's more, even less technical people know that and may make an informed choice. Way better than allowing advertisers do whatever they want everywhere.
- dageshi 3y agoYou know that pretty much all large sites are tracking you and most smaller sites probably are too but they couldn't be bothered with the consent popup because nobody will ever enforce anything against them. Advertisers still do everything they want everywhere, we just got a bunch of pointless popups on top.
- jmye 3y agoDo you really think most people are making an informed choice, as opposed to clicking the button that gets rid of the pop up fastest? Especially on mobile where the pop up obscures basically the entire site, and the byzantine process of opting out takes several clicks? I think this was a spectacular failure of the EU to consider legislative effects, and problem solve. But that seems to be their recent MO.
