The law isn't bad. The EU knows how to enforce it.
> So the websites are asking the user - as the law dictates even if the buttons are the same size.
No.
1. The sites are willingly breaking the law in the absiolute vast majority of the cases
2. The sites don't even have to ask any of this if they simply stopped siphoning user data
> So you’re cheering the government making a law that made the user experience worse that the government couldn’t enforce?
It wasn't the law that made the experience worse. Does the law require the sites to siphon and sell your data to the highest bidder? No. The law says: if you do that, you have to tell the users about that, and obtain their consent before doing that. It's the industry of greedy leeches which made the experience worse. And you've bought into this industry's reasoning that it's the law that makes them do this.
