Cookie banners have been a blight on the internet. Worse than the old scourge of pop-up advertisements! They need to die entirely. The idea has failed. Nobody reads any of it. If you want to ban targeted ads, do that. Let's see if the EU can correct,

@levelsio @nelson_rpp @Cloudflare @cgpliberal Great thing that you're open to it! I'm starting a podcast next month and would love to have you on the show for an open and frank discussion on what we need to change in Portugal.

@maxjanderson Taxes not sustainable at over 20% of GDP you say? Portugal says hold my beer. It is over 30% since at least 2004.
