So much legislation about privacy that involves "oh those bad companies" that ends up putting the onus on the individual to manage it all.

I'm visiting a website, i don't want to make a legal agreement with every website ...

Social media bad for kids? Everyone hand over your ID at the door ...

The companies want to track everything you do on the web. EU passes a law that says they have to ask for permission first. They all comply maliciously because they still just want to track you.

Then you blame the government.

  • The mechanism that I have to make a legal agreement with every site was a government choice, and a poor one.

    • No, its the website's choice. They want to track you. The government said they need permission to do that. They could offer a better experience by just not tracking you.
