Why does it not have “Decline all” button??

So that most people just click on "accept all"

[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I close the website. Didn't miss an essential website (or app, for that matter) so far.

I just accept knowing that uBlock will block it anyway

Consent o matic is your friend

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup. Best firefox extension after uBO. If I had to pick a third one it would be Privacy Badger, although it breaks some sites.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

What does privacy badger do specifically?

I would put DeArrow on the 3rd spot. It makes YouTube so much more bearable.

I also use decentraleyes.

Not necessarily all of it.

Even anti fingerprinting browser forks aren’t perfect.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but the consent boxes are just for cookies anyway

Yep. Most websites make it intentionally difficult to reject this stuff by giving you a single "ACCEPT ALL" button and then burying each individual actual setting behind multiple menus and dropdowns, some of which are deliberately obfuscated, sometimes with odd color choices for the toggle that make it difficult to determine whether the option is actually on or off.

Some websites offer a "Reject All" option, but they are few and far between.

They're not that few and far between, as declining must be as easy as declining per the GDPR. Just report the transgressors to the national watchdog.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wish it were that easy in the US.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

As an US citizen you just literally are owned and experiemented by all its corporations

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Shame that they don't enforce adding that button.

We put a value to your privacy. A price tag in other words so we can sell it

"...and other hilarious internet jokes"

This is from Blind.

Why does it not have "Decline all" button??

For users in the EU it does. Or it should, since a lot of companies still don't comply to GDPR

Oh, damn. Didnt know this meme culture did exist within OSU.

I just played it a lot during my from childhood till today from time to time.

But never watched streams and stuff. Just played it for fun isolated from the culture

[–] Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, mainly me too. But that meme is so strong that even I know it. Do you remember r/place, on reddit? The OSU logo was at the coords 727;727. Crazy, right?

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh lol xD

Yeah I remember that time but thats a funny fact

I truly believe this coupd be a way UBI to work. First things first we'd need to pass laws making data privacy a right, and enforce it hard. It's an opt in system, where you can decide what kind of data you want to give. But the more you opt in the more money you get. Companies are already paying for this stuff, we should cut out the middle men already.
