Nothing new in or interesting in this article, yet another fundamental misunderstanding of how the law even works. If companies didn't want to track you to oblivion and beyond, they wouldn't need to "have spent billions on cookie banner compliance". As they say, the gears of the law turn slowly, but grind finely, personally I'm very happy with the direction EU is going, even if it takes some time to figure out all the small details along the way.
- dazc 2y agoRegardless of the actual legislation, the widespread implementation of cookie banners has resulted in default acceptance by the general public who have no idea what it is they are actually consenting to.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoAs an EU citizen, same here. I don't want to be tracked and my behaviour sold to the highest bidder without my consent. And again, DHH is clever, "because if the EU can screw up something as basic as cookie banners this bad" not sure why he doesn't get this. While his other points are worth discussing, and we can discuss the lack of second of second order thinking by politicians, him mischaracterizing cookie banners as EU law, makes it hard to take the article seriously. The reason for cookie banners is a corporate culture of "checklist compliancy" - the same that also led to CrowdStrike.
