And I don't blame the site at all. Another stupid rule from the EU preventing me from reading articles.


A man has a hotdog stand that he never cleans. One day, a health inspector comes by and tells him that unless he cleans his grill every day, he can’t keep selling hotdogs. The man shouts “I’ve never cleaned the grill in my life! It’s impossible, nobody does it! And who’s going to pay for the cleaner and the five minutes every day, me? No, I’ll just go sell my hotdogs somewhere else.” And he leaves. Later a regular comes by, sees the missing hotdog stand, hears it happened as a result of the health inspector’s visit, sees that other people are now eating the man’s hotdogs while he can’t, and thinks “Man I’m hungry. Screw health inspectors.”

Taking care of people can be a thankless job.

See it's all a matter of opinion. I personally don't really care about online privacy and GDPR just gets in my way. I know that's not a very popular opinion on this site but it's the way I feel.


"Those who don’t care much about privacy might say that they have nothing to hide. Those who do worry about it might say that keeping their personal data safe protects them from being harmed by hackers or unscrupulous companies. Both positions assume that caring about and protecting one’s privacy is a personal matter. This is a common misunderstanding."

"We have to put an accept button on every new website you visit or democracy will end"


"Any government regulation is literally fascism/communism and will inevitably lead to the deaths of millions of people."

Do you see why straw man arguments aren't helpful?
