CNIL forces bad UX pattern on EU users.

The correct pattern would be to use reasonable default settings and allow more advanced users to customize.

But EU wants to force Google to present advanced configuration options to all users. For vast majority of users advanced configuration options look like mumbo-jumbo, so most users will learn to quickly accept whatever mumbo-jumbo they are presented with -- without reading it at all.

That CNIL change will make the Web worse than it is now, not better.
