> We are all experiencing what happened when politicians regulated the web. I hope you are enjoying your cookie modals; browsing the web in 2022 is an absolute hell.

What would they do with email?

To be honest, I kinda like seeing a lot of cookie modals out there. Yeah, the experience can be hellish, but it highlights how many sites are actually collecting data from their users.

With that said, I wonder what alternative regulations are feasible if we don’t rely on politician-mandated regulations.
