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?
RE: “Why are you even reading that shitrag?” – I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn’t realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.
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.
You are part of the problem here
How so?
Imagine, if you will, a world where things weren’t shitty for the sake of being shitty.
Where perhaps, good things could just be good.
