Damn this looks too good to be real, where's the provision to make any kind of encryption illegal ?

It looks good reading it like this but I am always scared about the unintended effects. Like the ... cookie banners. Dynamic pricing absolutely has to go this is so unethical

Probably this bit:

> “Dark patterns” (also called deceptive or manipulative design) are interface choices that steer users towards decisions they would not otherwise make, for example:

> Making the “accept all” option bright and prominent, but hiding “reject” or “manage settings”

Not a direct reference, but it's clear exactly what it's getting at.

Wouldn't call it a big win though. If it's not established as a browser level setting instead of some shitty per-website banner that expires every 3 weeks as the site adjusts its ad serving system once again? We're still in cookie law hell.

Isn't this already illegal? By law the websites are required to make full opt out single click. They just don't care.

Interessatingly according to https://www.verbraucherzentrale.de/wissen/digitale-welt/onli...

games will be regulated and cant be easily shut down. Lets see what "Stop killing games" will say.

edit: According above website had too optimistic interpretation. Anyway it looks like Stop Killing Game transforms into pro-consumer video games association. And thats overdue and yet very interesting and missing.
