The purpose of the law is that consent is supposed to be given freely - holding privacy ransom is not that.
Besides, Meta is identified as a gatekeeper under DMA, so EU might be even more strict with them.
Anyway, I'm not a lawyer, so don't quote me on any of this. :)
Except that's specifically the approach FB made that's illegal in the EU.
Privacy is not something to be put behind a paywall, and it's not a real choice.
Proton Drive Linux desktop client and system integration for Calendar on Android are the main ones I remember.
Outrage narrative? Are you talking about me, or you?
Are you actually a Proton user, or you just here to shitpost? Because there are features that were promised years ago and then forgotten about, because they aren't trendy enough.
Is a paying customer not allowed to complain that they waste their time on chasing the next popular thing, instead of, I dunno, delivering important features promised years ago?
I think making it an opt-out is sensible
Why? I'm not in the business of making ad companies' jobs easier.
Tape is actually doing pretty well.
Not the little cassette tapes, but tape storage tends to be used in big companies for backup long-term storage, and it doesn't seem currently like it's going anywhere.
It's EU's GDPR.
Anything like a newsletter or marketing must be opt-in. And it cannot be bundled with other consent, that is they can't refuse to provide you a service if opt-in isn't absolutely necessary.
To be honest, not sure if any other countries have such laws.
Opt-in by default is illegal, so OP has every right to be annoyed.
Just leave them be. I think their point was to route tubing for custom water cooling loops.
I'm still not sure. It's hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.
Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?
