YouTube Adblock Complaint
Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies. Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service. In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
A screenshot of a social media post announces a formal complaint against YouTube over its adblock detection technology. The joke is the deliberately legalistic framing of an adblock user fighting YouTube’s attempt to detect blocked advertisements, making a mundane internet dispute sound like a major data-protection case.
