    This shit should be illegal. Or, specifically, should be required to be opt-in only.

    Data is a commodity, and has been for a long time. Collecting / using users’ data without their express consent should not be as accepted as it is.

        It’s what the ePrivacy directive says, yes. But some get around this by claiming that it’s necessary for the operation of the device/service (doubtful) or that it has limited effect on privacy (depends on exceptions created by member states)

      Yes, in the same way that folks should be allowed to sell themselves into slavery.

      Oh wait.

      (In other words, some things are so inherently exploitative they should be prohibited even with “consent.”)
