GDPR is a start, but we need to actually ban it, not just annoy people until they click Accept at the 20th popup of that tantalising offer to share your details with 1473 trusted data partners.

    You can just click deny instead. The law says the site must make it easy to do so.

    There's a bunch of newspapers already with the option between pay for privacy plus or accept tracking.

    Fortunately there's a third option which is leave the site and never come back.

    Plus most of the sites will ask you again after a period of time. Until you say yes. After that they can strangely remember your choice.

    The EU has ruled that this isn't sufficient and that people shouldn't have to pay for privacy.

    Of course, companies in the USA won't care, except for customers in California (thanks, CCPA and CPRA).
