As I always say, you can’t outlaw being an asshole. But I am curious about what sort of assholery we will see next. Maybe all tracking will become “legitimate interest” (I’m kidding, please don’t actually entrench that garbage any more than it already is).

You see this blatantly abused all the time already - real example, first site I tested:

  Use limited data to select advertising
    Consent (91 vendors)
    Legitimate interest (41 vendors)
  Measure advertising performance
    Consent (97 vendors)
    Legitimate interest (58 vendors)
Which shouldn't be just finable but jailable.
