Overwhelming people with information doesn't work, never worked. Do you think the majority of people in Europe care about accepting all the consents that come up when they open a web page?

The EU legislators don't know tech, and don't understand people. I am pro-eu like most of my countrymen but it's absurd not to critize some of their choices, even if they have good intentions.
