If you live in the EU, certainly you first have to give consent to that practice, right?

- tjansson 2y agoIf they process personal data without explicit user consent, in violation of a privacy policy that outlines the types of data collected and how it is handled, it could be a GDPR violation. For example, if I cast photos of my children via Chromecast or entered my email into a Netflix app, and they send those images or my email sent to a server without my consent, this might also constitute a GDPR violation. It would be great if Max Schrems or a similar privacy advocate took up such a case.
- luke-stanley 2y agoWe have a Samsung TV in the UK (where consent is still required too!) and I recall it nagging for consent very often when we got it. The default option from the TV controller is to give it quickly and easily, maybe it could happen by sitting on the controller. It's hard to see how this would be informed consent. I do wonder exactly how the EU and UK market models from the US and others, anyone got info?
- mrighele 2y agoThat's why these days even TVs have cookie banners. Most of them by default push you to accept and I guess that they are illegal under GDPR (the same happens on the web) but until we start seeing fine going down heavily the situation won't change.
