Was trying to read a news story and… What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don’t want or need? How is this even legal?

RE: “Why are you even reading that shitrag?” – I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn’t realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.

    You don’t have to pay for privacy. You still have that right.

    What you don’t have is the right to use that particular website without either paying for it, or allowing cookies.

    You aren’t a victim of anything here.

          Imagine, if you will, a world where things weren’t shitty for the sake of being shitty.

          Where perhaps, good things could just be good.

            Wow, it sounds awesome!

            Anyways:

            You are part of the problem here

            What, specifically, is “the problem here”, and how am I part of it?
