As someone who has long critiqued the pervasive influence of technology on our privacy, I strongly believe that the EU should not stop requiring websites to ask for cookie consent. Consent mechanisms are essential for maintaining user autonomy and transparency in the digital realm. Abandoning these requirements would undermine efforts to protect user data in an age where digital surveillance is increasingly pervasive.

I strongly disagree with the idea of repealing the EU AI Act. The Act is essential in ensuring that AI technologies are developed responsibly and ethically. We need frameworks that protect citizens' rights and prevent the misuse of AI, rather than dismantling them. It's crucial for the EU to set strong, democratic standards for AI governance.
