Was trying to read a news story and… What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don’t want or need? How is this even legal?

      True, but shouldn’t I be able to use it if I want to without having to choose between paying money or being spied on?

        The only other option I can see would be ads – but I’m betting you’d just use an ad-blocker.

          Well, the fact that when there are ads, there’s always like 20 of them is another issue… But yeah, I don’t even care about ads but as I see it I should have a right to privacy without having to pay for it.

            You don’t have to pay for privacy. You still have that right.

            What you don’t have is the right to use that particular website without either paying for it, or allowing cookies.

            You aren’t a victim of anything here.

      It’s the Sun. No one should use their site. They’re doing you a favour by showing you they’re assholes the second you land on their site.
