Ah… terrorist, the magic word. That’s why you can’t have a SIM card which is not tied to your ID or passport in EU since 2015. Terrorists actions allowing an state entity throwing 4000t of explosive on civils in a weekend… yep yep…

more seriously (though I wasn’t totally kidding), your non-tech relatives and friends are all on whatsapp/insta/messenger, good luck to move them.


Gamers are here and coming in mass and don’t care about FOSS or security, so I won’t hold my breath.





That’s a lost fight, at least in my circle and in my circles’s circles. It was already difficult to move some of them to Signal and Telegram but even then, they kept using Whatsapp.

It should be managed at nation /European Union level, they should forbid this shit.


You’re thinking of it in a legal sense, to make too many hoops to jump thru, which is pointless given users can’t really verify if it does anything.

so why doing this in first place ?! it should be an opt-in not an opt-out.

At the very least, paywall are more honest.

so I maintain: SHITTY COMPANY


of course, but it doesn’t act on this shitty pop-up. I don’t look for clearing cookies, but auto reject these cookies consent modals.


I use uBlock origin. I will rather give a try to Consent-O-matic mentioned earlier.

thanks



ASstechnica : shittiest cookie consent popup champion ever
The more tricky and clicky it is, the more shitty the people behind are. This is the lamest way (to try) to bypass rules and therefore pretty insulting to their audience. First contender: Arstechnica.com from Condé Nast**y** cult. "Oh, the regulation say we must tell the users why we need cookies and provide how to opt out... mmh but we need those shit, let's find a way to stay compliant but discourage the opt-out in the most sonOf*removed*Way." Even, TheVerge and other from Vox Media sphere, which I thought were the nastiest, have changed it back to a simple **consent** or **do not consent** button. ASstechnica likes to play the SJW, rights defensers, criticizes celebrieties or shitty on twitter but with their cookie maze consent shit containing a 100ish of advertisers (that you have to disable one bye one), they are litterally the worse BSiter ever. So of course, I pass on but not without telling the fediverse how hypocrite this site/company is. hero point +1 :P
