Yeah that’s me, I’m funded by the anti-GDPR lobby. Still waiting on my check.

You could merely be convinced by one. That is sadly an unpaid position though.

But more seriously, this discussion has come up so many times on this site, that I could instantly find myself talking about it a handful of times at least:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45669399 (go up-parent a few times if more context is needed)

And that doesn't even go into whether sites actually need to ask for cookie consent at all if they aren't collecting user data outside of functional necessity (they don't).

Plenty of high-school logic level libertarians got convinced by corporation lobbying to undue regulation too
If you’re going to be condescending at least spell check your comments.
I'm not a libertarian. Just don't make laws that obviously lead to every website having useless warning labels.
