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.
YouTube’s ads have been malicious for years. If now they try to push the ads they used to have people wouldn’t have a reason to complain. But the way YouTube and Google are maximizing all their cash grabs they need to be put down in any way possible.
