lmao . what the fuck. there’s no way that’s legal right

@sodiboo i mean i assume it’s allowed in the USA.

@eri I’m not in the USA

@sodiboo hmm. well i guess the answer is “maybe” and it depends on if you feel like bringing a lawyer

I want to delete my data because…

• I want to delete my data

@sodiboo if it was enabled by default it’s probably a no no

if it’s disabled by default it’s probably fine since you’re the one opting in of your own volition lol

@eri at the very least it seems to not be on by default. so I Guess it’s probably fine (auto-accept cookies with informed consent is probably okay, a la “I don’t care about cookies” browser extension). it’s only if it were on by default that i genuinely think it would be a problem.

@sodiboo is this on by default?

@CenTdemeern1 I don’t think so…

@sodiboo @eri nah you need to be informed before you can racconsent

a blanket pre-set is not racconsent

@sodiboo @eri (this is also why DNT is entirely useless for GDPR. DNT: 1, DNT: 0, and DNT unset need to be treated the same way because none of them express specific racconsent for tracking)

@sodiboo then it should be legal because you know what you’re doing when you turn that on

@charlotte @sodiboo so is the “i don’t care about cookies” browser extension illegal in the EU

@eri @sodiboo shipping a browser with it might be

@sodiboo at least it's honest

@irina there were like 3 more pages of “yes I’m sure” after this. I would not call that honesty.
