Maybe you don’t but can you speak for everyone? The poster seemed to think that was undesirable.

We, the people of the EU, have democratically decided that we don't want them.

I see a problem with people (even democratically) deciding for me. I'd rather like it to be settled down between myself and the website owner.

That does not work. You have no bargaining power.

He had the power to say yes for himself before, and now he doesn't.

How did that democracy work with articles 11 and 13?

The European Union is the antithesis of democracy. If it wasn't, those directives would never have passed.

Democracy does not mean that every decision is good.

Democracy can also undermine itself. If people "democratically" decide they don't want free speech or private property, it's not a democracy any more. I don't assert it's exactly what articles 11 and 13 are doing, but it's a step in this direction.

And the power to use proxies and non personal emails.
