Wow - I didn't even know about that part. That pretty much clinches it, doesn't it?
Vetting, checking sources etc.. is the first thing I do.
Especially when alarm bells go off.
first one BBC, second one tracking tech.
Everyone should do it, would prevent a lot of misinformed opinions.
I checked out the link, and noticed that the "we use cookies" obscuring pop-up does not disappear when one chooses to not accept "unnecessary" cookies. I guess we just have to power through the 20% screen loss unless we accept those cookies. Hard pass.
I have a 5% screen loss only.
Didn't even need to decline cookies to read it.
Oh, yeah, that was my point, screen loss.
I didn't mean to point out the disrespect and clear statement that we either agree or have to suffer the annoyance of the equivalent of someone standing in front of us at a baseball game repeatedly asking if we would like to buy a hotdog.
Why should we complain? We can still see the game around him, after all.
