I don't want an internet designed by lawyers and politicians. And I'm afraid that's what this level of regulation and enforcement would create.

I don't want an internet designed by businessmen and advertisers, yet here we are.

Any website can have a button to reject all cookies. Or if you use only functional cookies, you don't even need it! Websites could come together to make it a standard and enable a browser option to avoid bugging you.

Guess what: they didn't want that, and some prefer to make cookie banners which are really obnoxious.

I'm all up for incentives for better websites, and penalties for shit ones.
