@codinghorror It’s 100% the EU’s fault. People thinking otherwise are living in a fantasy world. It’s the law of unintended consequences to which it would seem they paid no attention. It irritates me no end that the web is plagued by this crap, and that I watch dev teams waste their valuable time complying with regs no user cares about.

@paulgrav @codinghorror Nonsense. The EU doesn't require these elaborate and massive consent forms. They are crated this way to make it as difficult as possible to choose anything other than "Accept". They aren't complying with the law, they're actively sabotaging it.
