Everything related to the #GDPR is discussed here. This is the first and only community specifically for GDPR topics which is decentralized and outside of walled-gardens. #EDPB recommendations and guidance can and should also be discussed here.

For the moment, chatter on the similar California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) could be discussed at least until the volume of messages compels us to split it into a separate community.

The lawyers will say the “Reject” option successfully rejected the cookies on that first click, but if you still want to read the the article you have to pay.

I can see the coercion issue, where 99% of people are coerced into agreement, but that has yet to be defined as illegal.

In the meantime I’m going to keep hitting the “reader view” button before the cookie pop up appears.
