Yahoo is bad, especially concerning the opt-in, but by far not the worst. Those are Google and Facebook, which have made all of their services "all-or-nothing".

Yahoo is bad, especially concerning the opt-in, but by far not the worst. Those are Google and Facebook, which have made all of their services "all-or-nothing". If you don't accept every single bit of data processing, your only alternative is to delete your account. Literally runs counter to everything the GDPR stands for.
- ioulian 8y agoYou are right, no "normal" person would want to delete their google/facebook account, so they just "accept" the tracking. I mean, if you already have a android phone, NEST and use google everyday, would you want to delete your account? You can live without facebook, but google makes a lot of hardware that is quite useful. Let see how it all ends :D
- aeorgnoieang 8y ago> Literally runs counter to everything the GDPR stands for. If the idea is that no one should be able to avoid complying with the GDPR, even if they decide they no longer want to do business with whomever it is exactly that's covered by it, then maybe the whole thing was a bad tradeoff. I'll grant that Google and Facebook might be acting in bad faith – hell, I'll just assume they are – but surely, for some not-necessarily-insignificant number of other entities, it should be perfectly fine if they decide that the costs of compliance exceed the corresponding benefits.
