OMG, this is so stupid... on one hand they say "subversion of user choice is wrong" but then when users are given a choice then they say "“quite a significant proportion of people” are not accepting cookies when prompted online" .. “Where we are at the moment is not ideal,”".
So they want users to not have a choice but make them feel as if they have? WTF is wrong with this people. Can this companies realize that nobody wants them and just stop refusing to die already!?
The rest of the people in Earth are stupid.
As long as they exist, Google will continue exploiting them.
I was one of these people until I started looking into how Google makes money... Given all this is rather technical I can't expect most people to understand this.
I don't understand many things like food safety and somehow if I buy stuff in the market I don't get poisoned, so it can be done.
I was too.
Sadly, I gave away to them a lot of stuff about me. They know too much.
