I have to say that this is such an example of new technology being scary but the problems with old technology being ignored.

I'm still waiting for the ability to have mail received from someone or a company without giving such parties my name and physical address. This could very easily be implemented in many ways, but somehow does not exist.

There is no reason for a mail order company to know my full name and physical address to deliver anything to do, and I feel this sis far more compromising than an i.p. address.



I feel that is more an argument for improving post than one against GDPR.


It's an argument for, as I said, that people have a tendency of disproportionately focusing on the harmful effect of new things, all the while ignoring anything that is sufficiently old.

I find giving ulterior parties my name, and the physical location on the planet I live far more scary than being tracked by cookies without such cookies being able to be tied to such things.
