The thing that really bothers me is their arrogance to do things like I shared above with Youtube. They are taking liberties they more than likely have no actual legal right to take. Like secretly accessing your location, camera, and microphone without any agreement to their terms. These are not just simple cookies, this is direct access to your local machine.
And if you have not registered with them, then you have not legally agreed to any terms of use like this. So in the case with Youtube they are doing this without a legal contract and agreement giving them permission to access these as a default when you go to their page like they are. Not even a notice/disclaimer that they are doing it.
Indeed. I do not have a google account. I have never agreed to any TOS. My wife has gmail through work. My contact info is there. They take that, correlate it with my Unique Machine Identifier and phone IMEI and use that with google ad sense on 80% of websites to track me. I have never agreed or consented to any of this. How is this even legal?
