EU needs to stop listening to the giant companies and focus on the clean tech they are always delaying.

Yeah what is this “bowing to pressure”? What pressure?

The pressure to accept bribes?

Shit article.

One planned change could unite many Europeans in relief however: the EU wants to get rid of those pesky cookie banners seeking users' consent for tracking on websites.

Yeah because they want to ALLOW ALL DATA COLLECTION BY DEFAULT INSTEAD

What a bunch of fucking idiots working for this website.

From an actually useful source https://noyb.eu/en/open-letter-digital-omnibus-brings-deregulation-not-simplification

Among other things, the Commission proposes changes to core elements like the definition of "personal data" and all data subject's rights under the GDPR. The leaked draft also suggests to give AI companies (like Google, Meta or OpenAI) a blank check to suck up European's personal data. In addition, the special protection of sensitive data like health data, political views or sexual orientation would be significantly reduced. Also, remote access to personal data on PCs or smart phones without consent of the user would be enabled.

Basically "Hey Microsoft, we saw what you are doing with Windows Recall and we fucking love it. Please continue extracting literally every piece of digital information about all humans on the planet"

I'm genuinely so pissed and disappointed in the EU. We had a good thing going, dammit!

Here's a thought: let's get rid of those pesky banners and deny all data tracking, period.

Ban AI in EU. Let the healing begin.

Ban anything digital. Back to the paper age.

middlemanSI@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 303d (3 replies)

Let's limit banning to harmful tech.

Harmful tech such as money

Zyansheep@programming.dev · 2 pts · 303d

Harmful tech such as inefficient forms of taxation like sales, income, and capital tax that reduce prosperity or exacerbate inequality (land value taxes are better)

harmful tech such as knives / swords

You better pray you're more witty than that when you'll be interacting face to face with no screen
