Isn’t it illegal under GDPR? It seems to be the exact same thing Facebook tried to do.

I think they’re all pushing their luck with it, trying to get away with it until any actual legal repercussions happen. I first saw this a while ago with a French newspaper - apparently the majority of newspapers there do it.

Saw a German IT magazine that does the same shit report about a judge ruling that as being illegal a little while ago.

Yeah, some sites in the Czech Republic do it too, unfortunately. IANAL, so I don’t know if that’s illegal under GDPR, but I hope it is illegal and their luck runs out.

It’s the fucking Daily Mail, and should be completely avoided anyway.

Yeah, but sometimes you want to debunk it, or use it as a starting point for other research.

Not worth giving them the traffic.

I always find the statement “we care about your privacy” to be a bit meaningless when they then say that they’ll share data with 100s of partners.

How do you know they don’t just sell your data anyways?

If they don’t already, they will. The insatiable desire for profit means that even if you paid them $1000 a month for their dogshit rag, they’d sell your data to make $1001 dollars.

Regulations are the only answer and they have to be both enforced and punished heavily enough to not make it worth risking.

And nothing of value was lost that day (why would you even want to read that rag?)

Though I agree in principle, fuck these scummy practices.
