I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪The annoyance of cookie banners doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data. No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.Simple. My websites have no cookie banners, because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, in light of the increase in US application fees for the H-1B visa, for highly skilled immigrants (used extensively by Big Tech), the UK Govt. is assessing the value of dropping application fees altogether for high skill workers visa in the UK.It makes perfect sense & perhaps may encourage the Govt. to shift the debate about migration away from 'small boats' and towards the economic benefits of migrants going in the UK workforce?#migrants #workers #politics h/t FT
