@darnell@TechCrunch tech brought us to the place where tracking is so out of control that I agree with the intent, if I’m reading the tea leaves right, that the EU basically wants to outlaw it.
Forget consent, no one really consents to companies tracking their every move and thought. Crafting laws is tricky, of course, because many companies have legitimate reasons to collect and share data, which we naturally expect in some circumstances. The EU’s clunky solution is better than no solution.
