You see what they're actually doing there?

"We are by law forced to give you the option to view our ads and accept our tracking, because of privacy legislation in your region. Since you are hindering us from doing so, you can't come to the birthday party".

Ok, thank you EU, I suppose! :)

Pretty sure CNN is (willfully) misinterpreting the law. The EU is definitely not prohibiting them from just turning off the tracking without providing a choice.

Hahaha! "We need access to your private data to protect your privacy." We've come full circle.

Thanks for caring about my privacy, CNN, sorry I couldn't be more helpful in facilitating your solid privacy measures.

You can be more helpful, though.
