I have one suggestion for you: stop blaming everyone else.
The law itself is just fine. It's insufficient in itself, but so is the law making theft illegal.
If you use Google Analytics and third party social widgets, you're aiding and abetting, you're aiding and abetting companies that violate people's privacy rights on a massive scale. You choose to do so, so you should accept the consequences and the responsibility instead of pointing the finger to everyone else.
As an industry, we've had over a decade to fix this problem until the politicians finally took action. We, Silktide include, have not only done fuck all to solve the problem, we've participated in making is massively worse by putting Google Analytics and Facebook like-buttons on every site we put our hands on.
The politicians you're ridiculing are at least trying to fix the mess we created. We took a dump on privacy rights, and are now bitching about how bad politicians are in cleaning it up.
You really think they're going to listen to us as long as we keep acting like spoiled children with zero sense of responsibility?
