That’s disingenuous. We have a lot of regulation that improves people’s lives but isn’t well-regarded due to politicial campaigns, or in the case of GDPR, malicious compliance
I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here.
Ok, so I actually previously read too little of the discussion to participate competently.
Thank you. Better late than never.
But you need to be more careful. They said that the GDPR increases happiness because it allegedly does certain things. IE the happiness effect depends on what people believe about it. At least, I do not see how people would be made happier by stopping international data transfers in a way unknown to them.
Obviously, the GDPR does not literally prevent data from being shared around the world, so I’m not really sure what to make of the claim otherwise.
it’s totally possible to run GDPR-compliant site without a cookie banner,
Cookie banners have more to do with the ePrivacy directive, though the GDPR would require something like it.
In any case, the reason why sites have cookie banners is so that they can serve personalized ads. These ads pay better. There are probably sites that could not be run economically without cookie banners. The more profitable sites are not going to leave the extra cash on the table. It is not malicious compliance.
