I wrote something elsewhere in the thread about this[0]. I don't think laws mandating specifics of implementations at the level of browser settings is a good idea. To your point about government employees not being competent I don't trust them to get that right. Companies could work with browser makers to fix this but, as the OP points out, they don't want to. In my opinion the EU's big failure with GDPR has been slow and ineffective enforcement against blatantly illegal implementations. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39742989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39742989
