This is the same Europe that's trying to implement blanket surveillance of all chat communication. Just, you know, by the way. To illustrate how much they actually care about your privacy.

We need the same approach as for ad blocking. Just remove the crap from the DOM tree. Block the tracker cookies, based on curated blacklists or heuristics, or both.
We need to take back control of our devices, not leave it to every single website to hopefully obey some law.
