There's a long history of activist courts attempting to legislate from the bench. That doesn't make it good, right or that it's just how a modern legal system works. It's clearly not intended to work that way, but vague

I was ready to believe it, but this is a really poor argument for the thesis. First problem, it's written by some pastiche of a blue-check obsessed journalist. The article goes on and on about how some accounts are posting misinformati

Lots of people clicked the link, it's just that they were all people with botted machines.

It's clearly not required. The site would function without it. Therefore an activist will eventually argue to a court that it's a GDPR violation and win, meaning you have to pay up a fraction of your revenue (possibly sending you

It does in fact disallow that.

By modifying the site that way you're violating its ToS and can simply be denied service, as you are neither accepting or denying the request (you can't deny it because you haven't read it). Yeah you can claim otherwise and o

Yes it does, EU considers GDPR to apply internationally and "European user" is defined in such a way that it includes people physically outside the EU.

Sure it is. Just figure out what IP the advertiser is checking from (if they have time to check at all) and show the ad to only that IP. The slot can then be sold repeatedly.

Alternative reading: if mechanized expression of consent is now possible, then if you send a different header "Tracking-OK: True" all the cookie consent banners should now disappear. It could be a great thing. 99%+ of all people w

You don't think courts would accept that, but you don't know, because EU privacy law is so vague and badly written that the courts regularly "discover" new things about it that nobody had previously considered possible

No they haven't. Consoles are the clearest example of where they lost, but also how frequently do new jailbreaks for modern iPhones appear? Big tech can afford well paid security teams and uBlock Origin is a bunch of frustrated volunte

When was the last time someone got malware from YouTube ads? Has that ever happened?

Google has repeatedly experimented with that. It always fails because the amount advertisers subsidize your internet experience is more like on the order of hundreds or thousands of dollars per month, not ten.

It isn't incompatible actually. Remote attestation exists and platforms that allow rampant ad blocking will go the same way as PC gaming did due to rampant piracy and cheating: become a second tier platform that gets some stuff late an

Who's are you addressing? I watch the ads on YouTube and have had premium in the past. I might resubscribe too.

They're using 4. The quality difference is huge for coding. Nearly a different product.

Yes YouTube employees literally steal people's content. They break into the houses of hard working creators and riffle through their collection of USB sticks looking for videos to steal. The bad faith hysterics of some of the people wh

That's been done dozens of times, we just call them corporate labs instead of universities. And it works fine. There's no reason to care about the university as an institutional form, they just suck in so many ways that are all re

If we were the ones who discovered a planet with intelligent aliens on it, we'd probably want to investigate the most advanced areas too.

Yeah I've also looked into this, even designed ways to do it with an iPhone (which has a depth camera useful to detect pictures of screens). But despite all the bellyaching over AI and even finding websites that are clearly suffering f

Generally, the expectation is that developers know what bugs have been fixed or can quickly check, so users aren't expected to just constantly retry on whatever today's HEAD is. That takes a lot of their time, and you already know

Not sure governments should regulate to that level of detail but in principle sure why not.

When has this ever happened. The amount of drama caused by businesses pulling ads seems way higher than leaving them running.

No need to speculate, the accusers said specifically that they "came forward" because of the popularity of his YouTube channel. It was printed in the Times. The fact that some people still listen to them after that is a damning in
