- Next question: How to get the whole EU to take this legal position? - I could see it happen eventually. Would definitely be the best outcome for this whole consent banner madness. 
 
- Well, let’s see how tue whole IT world weasels out of this one. - “oh we can’t possibly understand that field, as there is no agreed industry standard for how to treat it” - Get out, you know exactly what it means. - Bein forced to accept this would make their whole dark pattern cookie bullshit useless, sooooo 
 
- It’ll be interesting for sure! Specifically the big tech companies (looking at you Meta, Google, Microsoft) 
 
- Title in English, article in German… not great. - Yeah, true. But maybe the perfect time to try the new translation feature in Firefox? __ - I don’t like or trust software translation. It’s often clunky, feels unnatural, and misses important nuance. - Then use an addon that uses translation services like Google or DeepL? Or hire an actual translator if you feel that’s also unacceptable. - Or learn the language, by FOSS means ofc. Make sure to check the licence for each word and verify the GPG key. 
 
 
 
 
- Good luck enforcing it. 
- Kinda makes me want to move to Germany… 
- The title is misleading. The article only talks about LinkedIn. - It’s called legal precedence. 
 
- Hell yes! - Now if only this type of ruling would happen everywhere.
