Every time I look for concert tickets, especially for stuff happening on May 29, I get hit with all these cookie pop-ups. It's like, Ticketmaster and similar sites collect a bunch of info when you buy tickets, and politicians have actually started fighting about how much data is fair to collect. I’ve noticed more and more politicians talking about people’s privacy online because honestly, it’s kind of creepy how much they know.

What’s wild is that with the new concerts and big event days like May 29, way more people use these ticketing websites at once. If you think about it, political campaigns or even hackers could want that data—for ads or even shady stuff. I’ve seen stories about campaign ads showing up just from visiting a tickets page! That’s why new laws about cookies, privacy, and what companies can do with your info are such a big deal. Some countries are way stricter than the US about this, but American lawmakers are slowly starting to care more, especially when huge events make privacy issues obvious.

So yeah, big ticket days and politics basically go hand in hand now cause of all the personal data flying around.
