The law has wasted billions of hours of human life and productivity. Was it worth it?

Law was created as response to advertisers invading privacy, are you arguing that unchecked invasion of your privacy is worth it? If anything unchecked invasion of privacy wasted all of those hours plus hours of work of lawmakers plus hours of work while implementing all that advertising in the first place…

Ads industry did that. Was it worth it?

  • The ads industry isn’t in the business of making our lives easier. EU lawmakers are. Which is why it’s the EU that is failing in its mission here.

      Indeed. So somehow you still end up blaming the EU.
