Comment on France's Data Protection agency issues their maximum monetary penalty to Googleparent

Comments

Sure it's stupid, but the other reasons are not, so encouraging google to fight the whole thing because of the stupidity of the cookie directive is to gloss over the issue.

Perhaps they shouldn't be harping on the point about the cookie directive with equal weight then, as they are. It's as if they have an equally asinine rule that footers must be blue and Google's footer were red. Even if the other 3 points are valid, they're undermined by having a nonsense point alongside them. A point that is incredible silly to any sane person alongside other points that require a more nuanced understanding of the issues is detrimental to the overall argument.

Are you really claiming that the other points are less valid because they are contained in the same document as the point about the cookie directive?
