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.
This is so incredibly well put, especially your first paragraph and the concise term
commoditization of the self
That is exactly what it is. Anymore you can’t even have a hobby without someone chiming in and suggesting you should make coin off it by hawking it on Facebook or TikTok, without ever realizing that the point of a hobby is the joy of it. The monetization of creative impulse tends to destroy that joy and enslave the creativity to its end result and/or the perceived monetary value it may eventually have.
Really well said. Thank you for taking the time to write it.
