Those annoying “consent” cookie pop ups that Big Tech has been using as part of their malicious compliance efforts to convince you that data protection law in the EU is a nuisance?
Turns out they’re illegal.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al Great, those fucking things have been pissing me off for ages now. Maybe now they’ll vanish, and if more paywalls come up so be it, I’m rapidly losing interest in bypassing them only to see someone trying to sell me biased info or opinion piece drivel.
@limneticvillains@mastodon.online Well, legal clarity is one thing. Enforcement is another. I guess we’ll see.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al Someone needs to open up a website where anyone can drop a url that has these bloody tracking things in em and then if confirmed they get listed on a wall of shame.
