This whole cookie dickover concept is malicious compliance. The goal was: no tracking but ask consent if you must ("who would do this, that would be super annoying"). Except every website decided they'd rather annoy everyone.
- apple4ever 4mo agoA properly informed person would've understood that's what they'd do. They'd also probably realize cookies are not a big deal.
- barnabee 4mo agoTracking people around the web (especially without asking) is a big deal though.
- rubyfan 4mo agoRight the intention was to stop unchecked surveillance capitalism, now they use the normalcy of annoyance to wear you down such that you auto accept terms that you probably wouldn’t agree to if you read them. That’s what they want now. This and other bad behavior will only go away when government says, “no this is predatory and you can’t do it” instead of saying “everything is OK if the user consents to it”.
