It would be really sad to shut down one of the most influential pieces of tech in modern history because they didn't implement the "consent dialog" just right.

> didn't implement the "consent dialog" just right

I think it’s called a “consent thingy”

It's called "That one more piece of Brussels crap that didn't solve the problem but makes people lives worse"

Not sure how "less ChatGPT" is making anyone's live worse but I guess that is a matter of opinion.

We are talking about the cookie warnings.

How about you don’t take away things from people instead

Well, this is a peculiarly Italian story, but regarding your statement. To what do you refer?

Nobody is shutting it down, this is just EU/Italy self-sabotaging :) the rest of the world will carry on at incredible pace they won't ever be able to match - or catch up.

> it's not, that's why there are consent thingies on websites

Are there consent thingies on Google and Wikipedia?

> when you could not sign up for instagram as a minor

Sign up to post stuff. There are normally no "consent thingies" for looking.

If a parent doesn't want a minor to look at stuff they should either not give them access or limit it.

> Are there consent thingies on Google and Wikipedia?

Google has, just tested. Wikipedia hasn't. This website hacker news don't have one either and doesn't need one. Its when you want to monetize the data that you need one, Google monetizes data, wikipedia and hacker news doesn't.

ChatGPT is restricted to 13+, but they don't actually enforce it, that's what the objection is about, as far as I understand.
