I'm not a fan of the cookie consent popups, but I do appreciate the EU actually trying to do something to protect people's privacy. Seemingly the only major entity to do so right now.

That was my first thought as an American. It's refreshing to see that 1. They attempted something meaningful in the first place 2. They recognize it isn't perfect/not having the intended effect and are making adjustments.

This seems like a functioning government.
