Some people hate the eu but I swear I only hear wins
because the people who hate the eu are the people who are wrong.
It's stuff like chat control that make me hate the EU sometimes.
Oh and the really really dumb cookie law.
The cookie law isn't dumb, but at this point it should maybe be reformed. Basically as long as a website doesn't do shady shit with cookies no cookie banner is required. Instead of complaining about the cookie banner law, people should complain about websites who sell their users' data.
The dumb bit of the law is the fact that websites are allowed to put up an annoying banner that says either accept cookies or individually deselect 240 checkboxes.
That is actually the status quo. If a website only uses cookies that are needed to make the website function, there is no need for a banner or dialogue. These cookie banners are there deliberately to be annoying so you'll agree to more than is necessary.
The newest take on cookies, is "accept all, or pay to read". Quite shady, if you ask me.
and illegal.
