Next question: How to get the whole EU to take this legal position?

I could see it happen eventually. Would definitely be the best outcome for this whole consent banner madness.

“oh we can’t possibly understand that field, as there is no agreed industry standard for how to treat it” - Get out, you know exactly what it means.

Bein forced to accept this would make their whole dark pattern cookie bullshit useless, sooooo
It’ll be interesting for sure! Specifically the big tech companies (looking at you Meta, Google, Microsoft)

Title in English, article in German… not great.

Yeah, true. But maybe the perfect time to try the new translation feature in Firefox? __
- magnetosphere ( @magnetosphere@kbin.social ) 4•8 months ago
I don’t like or trust software translation. It’s often clunky, feels unnatural, and misses important nuance.
- DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@kbin.social ) 9•8 months ago
Then use an addon that uses translation services like Google or DeepL? Or hire an actual translator if you feel that’s also unacceptable.

Or learn the language, by FOSS means ofc. Make sure to check the licence for each word and verify the GPG key.

Good luck enforcing it.

The title is misleading. The article only talks about LinkedIn.

It’s called legal precedence.
