lime!

yeah the cookie law was way earlier, like 2010. gdpr was 2016.

i don’t know if that actually helps either…

also, reading over my reply it came across as a bit aggressive, so sorry about that. not my intention

yeah but that’s gdpr, not the cookie law.

we can all at least agree on what categories we may want to restrict

nope, we can’t. lgbtq+ friendly spaces? copyrighted content? dissenting political views? some countries criminalise that, how should we tag it?

we could add a HTML tag in the header of all of our websites

broski, we had to relax the standard for what is allowed in html because nobody does it correctly. good luck enforcing this.

The only thing that would need to happen on the user side is for them to instruct their browser which of these tags should not allowed to be loaded.

who are “they”? are you suggesting direct government access to the browser? or, if it’s on the user, why would they do it?

Since these restrictions only ever apply to children

says who? porn is straight up illegal in some countries.

We can give them simple, safe and secure tools to allow them to control their children’s access to their devices

we already have those and parents are not using them.

fun fact, governments don’t have to care about gdpr.

you’ve never had to ask for permission to store cookies that are required for your site to work. you have to ask for permission for third party trackers to store cookies when people use your site. it’s just that web developers either can’t read or can’t live without letting google track their users’ every move.

think of apple’s on-device image scanner ai that flagged people as perverts after they had taken photos of sand dunes.
