Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.
Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.
In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
I’d compare it a little differently. It’s more like YouTube is the only one selling ketchup and other companies only have sauces I don’t like. I could use them but I want ketchup. Whether it’s on purpose or not, YouTube is the only way to watch the videos I want to watch.
