- kmlx 6y ago0. the price is close to zero. that’s why most people don’t care about it. 1. it’s not hidden. open dev tools, see what the page does. 2. someone has got to pay. either a subscription or with your data, the salaries need paying once per month.
- wlll 6y ago0. But I do, and I make my choice when presented with one. 1. That's still hidden. "read the code" has never been an acceptable answer to how to inform users, and wouldn't even get close to being allowed under the current GDPR or ePrivacy directives. 2. If you want me to pay then you have to tell me how much I have to pay. It's why there are laws on the clear display of prices in restaurants, and that bars in the UK have to have the prices of drinks listed. If you want me to pay the price to enter your wensite then tell me what that is and let me make he choice. Over the last 20 years or so companies have been playing fast and loose with people's data, they could have not done that, but the continued, and now this is what they have to deal with. Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for them in the slightest bit
