No, people cannot escape responsibility by saying "the law made me be belligerent toward my users". It is intentional choice to use cookies and to make it unpleasant for people.

- Diggsey 3y ago> No, people cannot escape responsibility by saying "the law made me be belligerent toward my users". Correction: people should not be able to escape responsibility by saying this. The problem is that right now people do escape responsibility for saying this because the EU is not properly enforcing these new laws. Introducing a law and then not enforcing it has consequences, and those consequences should have been foreseen. Either the law is unenforceable due to practical constraints, in which case it's a bad law, or the EU is failing to enforce it due to inability. Hopefully the EU starts putting more focus on enforcing its existing laws rather than creating new ones.
