- Cthulhu_ 2y agoThey do already, and big companies have already been fined for not offering them, which led to some smaller parties adding them. See here [0] for a list, amongst which was Microsoft getting a $65 million fine for not having an easy opt-out on Bing, or $162 million to Google for the same thing. Noncompliance should be reported.

- what 2y agoEveryone should just geo block EU visitors instead.
- taosx 2y agoI know a lot of people that wouldn't mind that. 1. There are ways to bypass geo-block. 2. People would build alternatives specifically for EU (with few exceptions). 3. They could even offer those alternatives to US, but with better privacy out of the box.
- marcosdumay 2y agoOn #1, yeah, you can. But don't expect the site to respect the EU laws. I'm all for the hostile corporation to hostilize themselves into complete inaccessibility too. Let them build their castle, with a moat, and not let anyone near them. But unfortunately, they are still smarter than that. (But anyway, they seem to be getting dumber by the minute, so there's still hope.)
- Sakos 2y agoYeah, fuck everybody else's privacy. /s Why are you like this?
- sccomps 2y agomajority of sites don't have a clear "reject/decline all" button. I think they deliberately make it complicated.
