We got hooked on cheap Chinese and US stuff. And guess what, drug dealers don't respect their customers.

That’s not been my experience with drug dealers.

Except for Aliexpress you are not a customer. Just like Facebook, Insta,... they are selling your attention to the highest bidder.

Responding to the article: Yeah, no shit. Glad to see someone is at least trying to do something about it, and I wish them luck.

Relevant, from their about page:

Please shutup. Last time this kind of EU-whining produced only "If you dont accept cookies, you can piss off"-type checkboxes, whose effect to security is less than zero.

The Cookie Law is different to the GDPR, I don't understand how HN of all places keep getting this wrong after 9+ years of GDPR, it's just a meme and I wish people here would be more well informed.

It's almost as if the least informed people are the ones screaming the loudest.

People are confusing the two because both come from the same basket and both have a similar smell.

From the perspective of many non-EU citizens, it's just one more piece of EU legislation that hurts and annoys. Being technically part of the GDPR or not isn't terribly relevant for most people.

Note: I'm not defending or criticizing the law, just talking about how many people perceive it outside the EU.

I always wondered how the EU was going to enforce GDPR outside of the EU. I guess they really can't
