You're saying there is some law which prevents me from inputting my own data into a program, and it categorizes me into one of a thousand types of people?

- rtpg 6y agoyes, laws can prevent you from doing things that, when explained technically and without context, sound trivial and not important.
- googlryas 6y agoDoes the gdpr or any other law prevent end users processing their own data in their user agents? Or require that headers sent to respected?
- kergonath 6y agoThe GDPR requires tracking to be opt in. The fact that you have to use special headers to opt out is already problematic. Ignoring the headers to track anyway is of course worse.
- kergonath 6y agoMy comment was specifically that ToS are not a licence to behave illegally. There is no law preventing you from doing that in general (though there are specific limitations), but there are laws on how PII needs to be processed and stored.
