       The cookie banner is what happens when lawyers, advertisers, browser vendors, and regulators all solve the same problem independently.And somehow I'm the one doing all the work now, clicking ❌ for the 47th time today.

       @fribbledom I delegated this job to a Firefox AddOn and rarely see them anymore.

       Jokes aside: this is a case where regulation needs to catch up with technology.The web shouldn't need a million tiny consent state machines because lawmakers tried to patch over architectural flaws from the IE6-era.Put privacy controls where they belong: in browsers and operating systems.Make companies accountable for abuse. Stop making users the f'ing middleware.

       @fribbledom Was it really about architectural flaws? I thought it was a compromise demanded by the ad industry because if users could set it up once for all websites in the browser, they would have lost countless opportunities to lure users into accepting surveillance.

       @fribbledom But browser controls are already there, aren't they? Everybody just seems to ignore them.

       @fribbledom no it's what happens because ad-tech companies are evil, and refused to adopt DNT after saying they would.

       @fribbledom it doesn't and all of those are illegal. What we need is compliance and enforcement of the law.

       @DiogoConstantino I'm sorry, but I think I don't quite understand what you're saying: what does not and what is illegal?

       @fribbledom most consent forms are illegal, because they don't allow for informed consent (both due to the language they use to not be simple enough and because they are too big), and don't allow to refuse all with the same simplicity they allow to accept.

       @fribbledom Why should there even be a cookie opt-in. The only people who will click yes are people who are tricked or worn down by dark patterns. Just make the tracking illegal.
