This proposal makes the EU cookie law (https://www.cookielaw.org) seem totally reasonable by comparison.
My first question is, what impact would this have on the European economy over time? Total devastation? Or would it ultimately amount to just a bunch of fines and legal fees that only the major tech companies can afford to pay, effectively locking out competitors?
In other words, would this merely be horrible for consumers, or would it also set the entire European economy back half a century?
Absolutely horrible for consumers. Not sure what it would do to the European economy, but at best it would have no effect on it. There'd be no good side to this happening.
