Ianal but I don't think so. Without nitpicking all the finer details how Oath/Techcrunch fails (probably very much willingly) to comply, their wall of text is a bad excuse for informed consent. Eg I still have no idea what data th

The EU should really swing its GDPR stick around. Can someone shed some light on why the e.g Oath Family has not been hit with a serious fine yet? The violation is clear as a day.

Any reason not to simply flag it?

AlphaGo/Zero success has been a major driver of the recent AI hype, it's actual strength is no concern compared to the money to be made.

By adopting Chromium, Microsoft hands over control of even more of online life to Google. Bit rich coming from an organization funded by Google.

It is not about features, Moz://a could integrate a content blocker right now (or 5 years earlier..), and see whether Chrome can match that performance and pro customer stance. But Moz://a can't do that, because of

Youtube is turning 14 next year and computers have been mainstream way longer than that. Personally I was a kid when it was the TVs fault and video games were making kids violent, but imo things turned out just fine.

Well, EU ruled citizens can not be forced to give up their privacy to use a product/service. Google, msft, apple etc can play by the rules (which Google clearly does not according to this research) or accept the consequences.

Will MSFT act surprised when the inevitable GDPR fine comes?

In my non SV experience, most people will leave for +20-30% though, which quite accurately reflects the incompetence (and/or ego) of managers. It does not even cover locating and hiring a new talent. Nevertheless they are happy to pay

Plenty of people don't like or use smartphones for various reasons though. For instance my life at best remained the same, at worst got more complicated and annoying to workaround the expectations of having one.
