    So the EU made everyone put endless cookie acceptance popups up in the name of “privacy” then turns around and flagrantly violates it in the name of “protecting children”. In the US the only thing that isn’t done in the name of “protecting children” is gun regulation.

      The EU didn’t make anyone do that, site that have no business recoding the information put those up as a dark pattern to try and force people into accepting the terms so they can claim informed consent to the tracking. It’s malicious compliance, they could just not collect that tracking data that isn’t required to provide the service.
