I'm surprised that most of the comments here are siding with Europe blindly?

Am I the only one who assumes by default that European regulation will be heavy-handed and ill conceived?

Maybe the others have put in a little more effort to understand the regulation before blindly criticising it? Similar to the GDPR, a lot of it is just common sense—if you don’t think that "the market" as represented by global mega-corps will just sort it out, that is.

> GDPR

You mean that thing (or is that another law?) that forces me to find that "I really don't care in the slightest" button about cookies on every single page?

That's not the GDPR.
