Why the fuck would you willingly read this rag?
Was looking for a news report on Russia teaching kids to shoot to show a friend.
Ad free* (except for the ads). lol
Archive and read the site, install an ad blocker, block the elements with ublock, or move on and forget about the article. That’s my process.
their ads won’t appear I think is the main takeaway from it.
If the person who makes the article has any type of advertising via contract or referral links its otherwise.
Sounds more like privacy minus.
Since i use ublock with a blocklist to block popups I would never have seen this.
Honestly I bet they have in the bottom of there privacy policy that they will track you even after you pay to remove tracking.
I read this at DuckDuckGo.
But then you would have to read the sun, eww.
Is the Daily Star, which almost unbelievably, is probably worse than The Sun. (More misogynistic at least, editorially I couldn’t comment)
Sadly now I wish it was the sun, double eww.
This is hella illegal in EU, though I’ve seen many EU sites do it.
AFAIK it’s actually not illegal, it is allowed to have a paid tracking free alternative instead of a free tracking free alternative.
It is not legal to force tracking or payment. Tracking has to be voluntary and privacy may never be conditional of payment.
The Uk is out of the EU
Yes I know, and it’s legal in many other places…what’s your point? I am not allowed to state that this shitty behavior is illegal (albeit mostly unenforced) somewhere that is closely related to the location of this particular website?
Point was the site is showing a price in sterling suggesting it is being viewed in the UK, which is now not an EU member thus has it’s own laws regarding this stuff.
At least they are honest?
