I'm sure you can see why that isn't a useful contribution.
- icebraining 11y agoWe should abandon similar attempts at regulation, at least until we understand why that went so wrong. The EU is pretty good at regulating high-level user protection (e.g. privacy directives), and can be useful to give a "push" to what is already generally accepted in the industry (USB as an universal charging port), but I definitively think they should avoid mandating particular technologies or implementations, and the Cookie directive is a good example of what happens when they don't.
