Cookie banners are already obsolete in the age of AI. Who is wasting time defending it? People don't even care to hate GDPR these days, it's an anacrhonistic regulation from a different era that some EUrocrats like to boast about
- bgarbiak 1mo agoThe point of the article is not that banners are good; it’s that they would not be needed at all if websites didn’t share all the possible data about their users with hundreds of vendors. Fun fact: the OP blog doesn’t display a GPDR banner.

- dgellow 1mo ago> Who is wasting time defending it? I do! It’s one of my favorite regulation ever. I find it very well researched and designed, in a world where it often feels we cannot change the status quo it’s really impressive that a community of countries as messy as the EU has been able to design, pass, and actually implemented such a complex and citizen-centered set of rules
- IanCal 1mo agoOften complaints about it boil down to either not understanding what’s in it, or annoyances that would be solved if sites stopped doing all this shady stuff. “We value your data, our 1644 partners…” yeah you definitely have a value you assign to my data.
