About the cookie banners: I heard some time ago that EU wants to force browsers to have an option to automatically decline all non-essential cookies because those banners are pissing everyone off. What's with that plan, any updates?
The feature is actually older than any cookie banner (do not track request) but idk if the EU will overwork the law that way, it's a miracle that it passed at all and I would be surprised if the loopholes aren't made for some lobbyists in the first place!
The EU isn't the US.
We pass those kinds of laws all the time.
We definitely pass a lot of consumer protection laws of all kinds, especially in comparison with the US but we still have a huge lobbyism problem and many of those laws sadly pass in a rather useless state because of that!
