It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:
The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.
GDPR was a mistake
I’m curious why you think it was a mistake.
The power was always in the client’s hands.
Care to elaborate on that profound statement?
You can just not accept cookies.
Uh huh. Considering you don’t live in an EU country, and by your statements I highly doubt you’ve ever interacted with GDPR in any way especially on the business side… It’s safe to disregard your fortune cookies.
Yeah… After the GDPR became a thing
? You know Firefox can just deny them
Yes, but it’s all or nothing with that, what the GDPR forced websites to do is ask what the cookies are being used for and allow users to more granularly choose which ones they’re ok with keeping, for example by disabling cookies altogether you wouldn’t be able to keep your sessions after you log in, you close the tab and you have to log in again every single time
Sounds like a bad browser. Lynx lets you accept/reject each cookie individually.
The biggest browser is also written by an advertising company, and that setting conveniently disappeared more than a decade ago.
I’m an EU citizen and I strongly approve of GDPR. Out of curiosity: are you an EU citizen?
I don’t live in the EU and am supportive. It pushed a lot of companies to implement mechanisms that should’ve been there in the first place.
I am not.
Why? Isn’t the increased regulation regarding everyones private information a bonus?
The power was always in the client’s hands.
GDPR is about much more than just cookies
All of which I can safely assume is effectively unenforceable.
Thankfully no one has to rely on your assumptions.
Lol
lmao, even
