Whenever you bump into such user-hostile and annoying mechanisms, it is not the fault of the EU law but the service. They make it that way on purpose, precisely so you blame the wrong people (i.e. not them) and have you give up from exhaustion.

It was not the EU that “ruined the internet”, it was all the websites hungry for your data above all else. They “comply” in the most spiteful manner possible by design.

They actually don't comply at all. The reject should be as easy as the accept, as big, and so on.

In most cases they rely on the fact that there are so many websites that someone else will get fined.

It would actually be quite easy to automatically detect and create preliminary litigation documents about those cases.

You might be interested in collaborating with NOYB on that.
