They're the ones who made the law. Who else should have been in the meme?

It's rare to see (probably since someone pointed out it doesn't conform to GDPR standards), but I ran into a batch of them in short order recently, so it's been on my mind.

That's like every site. How do you use the internet at all?

Not at all my experience, but ok.

You're right. I wasn't clear in my comment. Saying all US-news sites are propaganda is propaganda. I'm not sure how that changes anything.

I absolutely do. Spreading the idea that news sites are all propaganda and the only entities involved in this kind of practice is, in itself, propaganda.

I have run into this recently on several non-US, non-news sites. I have actually never run into it on US local news sites, so I don't know what you're on about.

I just happened to run into a few recently. Just venting some frustration.

EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.

I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.
