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 was fine paying the premium light subscription price and now they’re killing it and forcing me off that plan and to pay 50% more to add features I 100% don’t use and don’t want to use. And of course they’ll just jack up the price again in 6-12 months because it’s never enough.
