But it can only mean one thing here, because it is labeled as the thing Microsoft was doing, and we know what Microsoft was doing.
But much more importantly, it is completely impossible in the context of the thread:
> [Accusation 3.] On their cookie banner, rejecting took two clicks while accepting took one.
> On 3, Microsoft argued that (a) rejecting was not actually required to be as easy as accepting and that (b) since the default was no cookies and it took a click to get cookies that rejecting was easier than accepting. The CNIL disagreed on both.
