The GDPR has had huge and shitty impact on the entire internet. It's night and day with cookie banners on every website. DMCA has pros and cons. But it's clear the lack of real penalties for bogus copyright notifications leads to abuse.
- bee_rider 2y agoThe cookie banners aren’t mandated by the GDPR, they are malicious sites’ response to the GDPR.

- bee_rider 2y agoIt might not be the best result, but at least the bad sites are identifying themselves.
- p3rls 2y agoLol, when GDPR came out one of our euro devs was threatening to walk out if we didn't put a banner up because he thought he'd be personally fined. Now it's obvious of course.

- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y agoThe GDPR is unrelated to the internet. It is very deep and protects my personal information in every company. Please educate yourself.
