They use every loophole legally available to them (you know what I mean, the button “I agree to sell my soul” being a hundred times bigger than the link to “I’d like to review your data collection and say which analytics service I adhere to”). But I haven’t seen a website where they threaten compulsory personalized ads if you don’t pay. It’s generally “pay or you get cookies”. But I tought those weren’t third party cookies, just in-site ones.
Good thing this was forbidden in the EU a few years back. As a user, you can’t refuse “necessary cookies” but those from third parties you can (e.g. Google analytics). Imposing personalized ads if you don’t pay is definitely forbidden in the EU I’d say
Moderation is a problem here? It’s been awhile since I’ve seen someone misbehaving. Generally it was being offensive to individuals or groups of people in a post. But the last one I saw was months ago.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? And to pee again and again ?
It’s also the name in French for end caps of bicycle break cables. #themoreyouknow
Oh the memories of frantically rubbing that screen to pet an imaginary puppy…
I think the post referred to Greece
Reminds me of an argument I had with a transphobic person about Last of Us 2’s trans character Lev. I tried to tell him even I used to be ignorant of trans people feelings. So I have said hurtful things in the past. Until I realised what harm my words could cause. Didn’t help to make him change his mind though!
“Are you gonna start grilling?” Damn, kids pick up on stereotypes quite quickly!
We call those not far enough to the left “social democrats”. And they’re proud of it generally, since the term implies they’re part of the polite/non radical democracy. So they argue those farther to the left are anti-democratic.
Now I’m trying to think what would be the equivalent of the “liberal” insult in my country… We hear a lot of you’re the “extreme left”, just as bad as the extreme right. You’re “outside of the republican/democratic frame”. As in you’re too radical too be part of the “polite democratic society”.
I’m already known as the stubborn environmentalist in my friend circle. I’m doing my part!
