   I wish when I explained the GDPR and COPPA to people that their first instinct wasn't to think of them as problems to solve. It doesn't need to be worked around. Maybe you just shouldn't be gathering that data.

     @rose this is why its important to start supporting technologies that do a better job of giving you control over your identity and data. there are a lot of things we give data away for that we dont need to. We can write a million laws but we still have to trust that system works. Auditable Trustless technical solutions should be the order of the day.

     @DigitalStefan The GDPR was updated in the past couple years and rulings have very clearly indicated that individuals must opt-in to tracking cookies.

     Unfortunately, the response I get, when I advise people their site is out of compliance, is a million engineering solutions for dark patterns that will trick people into "consenting" to being tracked.

     @rose It always amazes/disappoints me that I encounter clients / websites that use their "privacy / cookie policy" page to give users the option of "if you don't want to be tracked, go and figure out (here's a link) how to install an ad blocker"
