    Isn’t it illegal under GDPR? It seems to be the exact same thing Facebook tried to do.

      I think they’re all pushing their luck with it, trying to get away with it until any actual legal repercussions happen. I first saw this a while ago with a French newspaper - apparently the majority of newspapers there do it.

      Saw a German IT magazine that does the same shit report about a judge ruling that as being illegal a little while ago.

        Yeah, some sites in the Czech Republic do it too, unfortunately. IANAL, so I don’t know if that’s illegal under GDPR, but I hope it is illegal and their luck runs out.
