The EU didn't mandate that annoying UI. That's malicious compliance from businesses who are trying to undermine the law.

- cbeach 2y agoYou're suggesting that companies ruin their own UX to "undermine a law?" That this is all a big conspiracy by nearly every company on the web against our precious overlords in the European Commission?
- awiesenhofer 2y agoNo need for any "big conspiracy" when nobody is reading the actual law and instead everyone just copies everyone else.
- viraptor 2y agoThe core of the system is simple - you list the third parties you send data to, you make accepting and rejecting equally easy. Consider basically any popup on a popular website which: takes over most of the screen, makes "accept" the highlighted action button, requires going through "customise" to reject, sometimes requires unchecking categories manually, puts "save and exit" and "accept all" that so the same thing next to each other, either hide or not provide "reject all", etc. There is no conspiracy here. You can either not use third parties, or if you do, your approval system doesn't have to be obnoxious at all, but almost every page makes it a shitty experience to 1. Make you accept out of frustration. 2. Make your angry that this is asked in the first place.
