did you feel proud when the eu passed the cookie law? are you proud every time you have to wait for and click through a cookie modal? (never mind the development costs)

you might end up with an ad- and app-store- riddled europhone and if you decide that you want to buy a us or international spec iphone you won’t be permitted to do so.



Yes. I like the cookie walls. It’s a constant reminder most websites are garbage.

I welcome my ad- and app-store riddled europhones and then chose to not use most apps that use tracking ads


You do understand that those popups indicate either malicious compliance, incompetence or unnecessary tracking? Do you think keeping any of those three hidden is in any way better?


i like that companies are forced now to show me the data they collect on me with a simple request


I love that cookie pop up. That's an instant C-w.
