I refer you to exhibit a, commonly known as the cookie law. This was also introduced in the pursuit of privacy but has been so badly implemented that the internet is back to its shit old days of popups and banners.
Instead of requiring browsers to allow you to set your own rules on cookies, the regulators wrote a load of civil law codified bollocks that meant I have to click ‘no’ on EVERY. SINGLE. WEBSITE.
Expecting EU lawmakers to be able to regulate something that is actually complicated like AI is pretty stupid tbh.
