Protecting them from what exactly?
I'm genuinely curious about this - what do you think gets done with a browser cookie that actually causes real harm to the user? Perhaps that should be regulated instead of the mechanism for it.
- justincormack 15y agoThat already is regulated in the EU, which has reasonable data protection legislation. This is just supposed to be like the signs you are required to have if you use cctv, letting people avoid it if they wish to.
- ticks 15y agoProtecting them from commercial use of their personal data - without explicit consent. In the US it's more of a free-for-all and businesses can get away with much more; in EU countries, their governments prefer to protect their populations from businesses (before anything bad happens). Just a different philosophy.
