From Surveillance Communism to Surveillance Capitalism and Beyond

Ironic? Simply a consistent resource extractor. Europeans start the "Forbes experience" with

"We want you to experience the full power of Forbes.com, but we need your consent to continue" - ie accept all our surveillance capitalism so our tracking and ads can strip mine your behavioural resources.

At least they're kind enough to ask.

CCPA is going to be a thing in the US soon. I wonder what that will look like.

Forbes' one is actually a nice accidental workaround of itself. They put that up as a modal and slightly grey out the rest of the page. It disables the various on page JS lazy loads, and load of next article when you've scrolled far enough down the page. Hmm, just like web pages used to be then... :)

So I just read the article and close or back out, GDPR dialogue untouched.
