You say corporate nightmare but give the example of cookies, and the need to accept or reject those are a result of government regulations.
Corporate nightmare.
Tell me what the banner on https://gdpr.eu/ says.
In an ideal world governments are accountable to a well-educated populace and enact the will of the people to rein in the excesses of the greedy and powerful. Of course that is not how it currently works, but that is the ideal to strive for.
Karl Marx showed 150 years ago that a state under capitalism is a capitalist state and therefore predominated by the interests of capital itself, an observation that has never been refuted.
Is that sarcasm? It was a terrible point.
And any lack of efficacy of said regulation is straightforwardly due to corporate influence on governments.
I was fine with this solution. Most people don't care this much about privacy, and the govt is already violating it harder than anything else.
How come I live under those same regulations yet don't have any such annoying popups on my sites? I thought they were cause by that regulation?
Thos awful regulations don't go far enough. GDPR is 1% of the step in the right direction. Any pain is like the first initial pain from poking at a boil. The sane reaction is to lance that fucker with extreme prejudice not friggn back off and let it continue slowly eating you alive.
