800.000 people?

Talking bullshit seems to pay very good

<edit> yes not everyone was paying, but still: </edit>

If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.

$30‽ Wo even is ordering there? Why?

Now it will be !ich_iel@feddit.org

I actually don’t

Exciting changes

Oh no

If you don’t trust let’s encrypt SSL certificates, then you probably should probably stop using the Internet to be safe, as probably more than half of all websites are using them.

Did you even read the article or are you just hating? There is a will known additional non profit that is well known and trusted by probably everyone that knows about it. This nonprofit is handling the anonymization.

And because of that, the advertisers are not the ones aggregating it

Just turn it off and go away. Tada, we now have something better: no privacy-violating data at all.

Well, yes. Except for the fact that advertisers now have an excuse to try more invasive things to get to their data

Advertisers don’t give a shit. They have zero motivation to fix anonymization. They’re not going to HELP us get rid of privacy violations.

That’s why a trusted third party is handling this. They care a lot, because of they fumble it they are now an untrusted third party and someone else will take care of the anonymization part

That’s why they are starting only with verified sites. To combat the spam feature. But of course, they are creating a closed system with that. Which also is not the best

That’s correct. But this is only the case because of the DMA, mit the Gdpr

No.

• the Facebook case: DMA/ digital markets act. This case is only regarding the choice between personalisation or paying to access the service. Only for really big patients deemed to be gatekeepers. There are only five at the moment: https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/gatekeepers_en
• showing ads that are personalized, or any other things where they use information about you: Gdpr. You have to allow it.
• showing you ads that are not personalized: completely legal. Netflix does the same I think. Also Amazon prime.

IANAL, but: Gdpr only says that they cannot require you to sell your data to use a service. It does not say anything about paying with money. So this seems legal to me

They did. And probably would again if necessary.

I thought this is so you don’t get ads?

They wrote it in the article: jetflix It was even paid and people still used this instead of the legal services

Oh no.

Yes, I see it similar. But miracle whip is not mayo and does not count
