Release Overview - Stable Versions

Keep in mind that the official changelog website is often behind actual release versions, the website is maintained by marketing people. Also note that not every single change/issue is mentioned in the release notes, because lots of changes are done in the background e.g. filter-list changes etc.

Yeah, they won't set it by default as they don't want to bite the feeding hand.

Maybe, or maybe GPC only provides more bits of information that can be used for fingerprinting.

@Engywuck I still think enabling the user to opt-in / opt-out is the right thing. But to do that, the user needs to be fully informed about every option and the platform has to be enough clear and flexible.

@ANderagakura @Engywuck Under the GDPR, opt-out is not an option, so if the approach taken is not an opt-in one it is arguably unlawful in the EU.
I wonder how they plan to address the different legal requirements from different legislations...

@vctrmrl "Under the GDPR, opt-out is not an option" Where can do you see it?

I was talking about the default mode

@Engywuck

@ANderagakura @Engywuck Sure :) But depending on how they'll deal with this default can impact the lawfulness of the solution.

@vctrmrl @Engywuck My point is kinda philosophical, legal and product.

For me the user should be free to give the consent or not after understanding clearly every choice. Because in any case, a default mode does not necessarily give a clear explanation to the user

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

@ANderagakura @Engywuck I agree with you! That's also why no one should be opted-in by default
