Every time I try to look at the news no matter what paper on line I get that bloody 'we value your privacy' screen. You have to either click each section off individually or choose 'reject all' if you get the chance.

No matter if you visit the same news stream again you get the same nag Twisted Evil

Makes just trying to follow a news story a right bloody chore

One theory I have heard is that those CAPTCHA requests are getting the public to train AI systems how to identify buses, stores, traffic lights etc for autonomous vehicle programming.

Surely those sites that try to force you to accept thier cookies by blanking out most of the screen before you can proceed onto thier site are cutting thier own throat?
I’ve followed a couple of links from threads on BCF only to be blocked by big overlays that won’t move until you press ‘accept’ to the sites cookies.
This is mainly news sites?

I for one am not going to be forced to accept all these cookies from every site I visit.
The result is that I just don’t bother entering the site.
Thier loss, w*nkkers Middle Finger .

No I haven’t got anything to hide, I just object to companies sticking thier nose in my business.

It is not a theory, it is fact. Google bought reCAPTCHA to train its AI. I always click one wrong as a kind of anarchist move.
