If your "poor third-party ad networks who would think of them" cannot operate without dark patterns, abuse of cookie popups and malicious non-compliance, good riddance
You’re replying to a comment as if it’s suggesting ad networks are good. It’s not. It’s just stating, rightly in my opinion, that this is a huge win for those giant tech companies.
Note that Google, Amazon, Microsoft and others are also involved in this ruling:
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, TikTok, and hundreds of other tracking-based online
advertising companies rely on IAB Europe’s consent system, which Europe’s data
protection authorities have already found to be in violation of the GDPR
following our complaint.
