I don't usually look at the live TV guide, but when I did, I got hit in the face by a new #privacy annoyance:
#Iltalehti 🇫🇮 / #AlmaMedia is doing the usual #GDPR targeted advertising cookie popup thing... oh wait! This is new. You can accept the targeted advertising or *PAY* 2€/month to decline the targeted advertising. Oh wait, again, what's this! Hah, they got me for a second, you can still scroll wayyyy the hell down and decline consent.
...NO WAIT, the cancel options are "I'll just show this again in 2 seconds" and "I'll show this again *now*".
How is this legal? Well, the answer is that it's probably not, but the authorities haven't given them a stern talking-to yet, so in the meantime...
Also, I was thinking of subscribing to #Mikrobitti again, but now I won't, because I just remembered that their website is getting merged into this bloody nonsense next year.
#Yle's TV guide only has Yle channels, but fuck commercial TV, amirite
