As much as I hate ads and hate the concept that I would be forced to view them, these kind of legal wranglings freak me out. It seems quite possible that a ruling in my favor here would be used against me somewhere else. Courts and lawmakers don’t understand technology and don’t realize the effects laws have. And frankly, the rest of us don’t have much idea, either.
I’m not sure how this one could be problematic; you just decline to consent to your browser being identified when you click into the site, or not decline if you want that feature for whatever service needs it.
It’s not saying it’s illegal to collect at all, it’s just illegal to collect without consent.
When you click on the site, what’s on the site is not up to you. Google is no way making you to visit youtube, you are. This case is shit
If you don’t want phishing attempts on your computer, don’t click the damn phishing link. If you don’t like ads, don’t visit sites that are upfront about serving ads. For being some privacy advocates, you guys fucking suck at ditching companies that are evil.
The guy mentioned is trying to get his 5 minutes of attention.
