Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.
Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.
In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
Except that EU court rulings don’t count in countries that stupidly left, no matter when they happened.
You could pass a similar law yourself, but that’s probably not going to happen with either the abysmal Tories or the feckless centrist party Keir “I want to be Tony Blair” Starmer has turned Labour into in charge 😮💨
As an English person I thought yay that means us. Then I remembered. . .

I guess I sit corrected and pleasantly surprised then 🙂
It’s nothing to do with GDPR acording to the link of the post (people should read more than headlines…)
