European Commission moves to scrap annoying cookie banners

Original: 🚨Make your voices heard & # KILLTHECOOKIEBANNER . 🍪 The European Commission wants to remove the ANNOYING COOKIE BANNER,,

The European Commission is considering removing the ubiquitous cookie consent banners that web users must click through, prompting the hashtag KillTheCookieBanner to spread online. Privacy advocates support the plan, but Google is reportedly lobbying against it, and some EU member states, including Germany and France, are said to want to keep consent requirements in place.

Why now: The Commission's proposal would change a daily annoyance for hundreds of millions of internet users, while tech companies and some governments push back.
