What is there to be worried about? We just want to collect valid data for our operations and to share with our 21,678 partners. It’s basically legitimate interest.
And what most websites doing is actually not allowed according to the GDPR, it’s supposed to be a one-click opt-out (which would be easy to automate with a browser extension). Unfortunately, the relevant court is in Ireland, which is the EU’s hub for US big tech.
and it made the situation several orders of magnitude worse.
before you just used your favorite plugin and be done with it. you can’t do that anymore, because you now have to allow for a cookie saying you don’t want their cookies and you have to trust them to respect that. if that cookie is not there, they will bother you for the rest of their lives.
that is ignoring that you would have to individually opt out of every single one of their one million legitimate business partners.
i am using the ublock origin to block the dialogs, but it unfortunately works highly unreliably.
Multibillion dollar business idea: shitload of shell companies that keep your data constantly in circulation, undeletable. Subscription service that just re-sends your data to companies after deletion.
How about passing a law that makes it illegal to sell any of someone’s data without express written consent for each sale.
And it’s explicitly opt-in, not opt-out.
It’s argued it already is opt-in. That’s the ‘Agree’ button.
Dark patterns and dark intentions
Kinda what GDPR tried and now the internet is almost unusable because greedy companies put cookie banners on every fucking site

And with a required minimum percentage of those data sales going to the individual.
Yeah this is just whack-a-mole.

cool idea, except i am pretty sure you are late to the market and someone is already doing that 😂
A nice thought, but how to enforce this law? How to prove they gave or sold data? It’s easy for them to hide/delete records of data transferred.
