Went to the website of one of the signers, clicked "reject" on their cookie popup, which just navigated me into this paragraph:

I'm warming up to the idea of there being some kind of barrier to entry to this industry. One that disincentives low-effort cash-grabs.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoThis just cuts out the indies. the big cashgrabs can afford to roll their engine. They are that profitable.
- jen20 3y agoThe other way to look at it is that browser settings are the perfect way to express lack of consent for non-allow listed entities and get rid of the ridiculous piecemeal approach we have now.

- jen20 3y agoIndeed - what I'm suggesting is not that we have some opt-in standard that people may or may not follow. Browsers should go nuclear on tracking, and remove any feature that permits it.
- troupo 3y agoThe problem is, it's very hard to define what tracking is. That's why GDPR is General Data Protection Regulation. As it places the onus not on the tools to try and implement some ways to evade tracking, but on the companies who pretend that tracking is their god-given right. Because tracking is significantly larger than just placing third-party cookies on the users' machines.
