I would regard it as a duty of government to ensure that using the internet is safe and respects user privacy, but not to ensure that the internet has a clean UI. To that extent, I'd argue that the EU is achieving good outcomes. Ensuring a clean UI and smooth user experience is one of those things that should manifest as a result of market economics, but does not manifest because markets don't really work that way.
- fauigerzigerk 3y agoI see absolutely no reason why clean UX should manifest as a result of market forces. Media consumers, on average, are clearly unwilling to pay for ad-free experiences.
- n4r9 3y agoI won't pursue that assertion as it's tangential. I shouldn't have brought it up. The main point is that clean UX is not the purpose of the EU's data laws.
