My comment, which, upon reflection was poorly written, was supposed to imply "remember how the European Union pretended to care about privacy, and created GDPR? That same european union wants to do this"

GDPR is great for privacy. All these sites that track you have to tell you all the ways they track you and trick you into clicking "consent".

And it made the web experience way worse. Would have been much better to just take back the cookie popups in the browsers, and require each site to publish ToS in a standard format to the browser. I want to approve each data sink once, and each type of clause in ToSes once. They took the technically easy way out. Not very well thought out, but great for adding web dev jobs, of course.
