There must be a better solution. Basically the legislative body needs to be more nimble and adjust a law based on its real world effects.

If you think these pop ups "solve" user privacy in any way, let me suggest you another wonderful measure to "solve" climate change: all light switches will need to have a tiny touchscreen display next to them and if their energy source is not 100% renewable then you'll need to tap through a bunch of warning popups to agree to the terms. Each light switch manufacturer can also design this however they see fit.

That will totally solve climate change, right? Based on some comments here I'm sure some would love it and would wear headlamps to places and won't turn on the lights that have those tiny touch screens.
