Thanks!

The picture was shared on other social media sites, I did not see it mentioned in Lemmy or similar.

Their obvious solution to this is make you consent to it or you can’t use YouTube.

which isn't GDPR-compliant. you can't force people to accept tracking if the service doesn't require it to work.

Meanwhile in my country (New Zealand), privacy laws are slowly being eroded and government spying and censorship is increasing.
I wish we had GDPR.

common EU W

could some of you big brain people try and talk to the idiots who shout "BRÜSSZEL" at every issue here (Hungary)?

Does it count as tracking though? What private or personal data is it? I’d also say that it’s at the very least grey area since all they’re doing is trying to prevent people from using their service in unintended ways, ie without ads.
