Could someone post an archive? It’s impossible to view this page without a giant cookie pop up asking one to pay or to consent to being tracked. Isn’t this coercion and illegal in the EU?

FWiW from an Australian IP using latest Firefox and uBO no cookie pop ups appear, article is straight forward to read.

Hmm strange. iCloud relay has been consistently causing me to get geolocated in Switzerland. I’m in NYC.

Ublock Origin's element zapper or picker gets rid of it. Can't seem to reach archive.today/is/whatever sites today.

Impossible? It works fine with javascript disabled. In fact it works best with javascript disabled.

And there's no way I could find to reject them all at once, only one by one. No thank you.

GDPR fines are up to 10 Million Euros or 2% of total global revenue, whichever is higher. Maybe an EU citizen should sue them, since that behavior is listed as a dark pattern in the guidance.

Anyone can report them for investigation. I forget what the contact email address is but I had to add it to my GDPR compliance page so I know it exists.
