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.
I agree with everything you said, which is ultimately why instead of paying for YT premium I support creators I like in other ways. YT does get a little bit from me when I watch on devices like my TV that don’t have uBlock, and I’m fine with that balance.
