| > With your agreement, we and our 870 partners use cookies or similar technologies to store, access, and process personal data !! Surely there's a more respectable source. Anyway, Outlook is working fine for me here in NZ. This news seems to be a day old: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=MO941162 |

| EuroNews is generally pretty respectable, but it is sad that their cookie/tracking banner isn't compliant. Equally sad that no one at EuroNews management have seen the banner and though: 870 partners seems like 867 to many. Arguably EuroNews is a strange source for news like this, but companies like Microsoft and Amazon are terrible about communicating outages directly. |

| ▲ | Terretta 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | On the contrary, it seems compliant? The link to continue without agreeing is right at the top with the warning, and not buried somewhere in settings (and especially not sending you to each of the 800 to opt out individually like so many firms helpfully offer). | | |
| ▲ | mrweasel 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Does the rule require that the two options are "equal", which they are not in this case. | |
| ▲ | ffsm8 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Indeed, they just hid it in the logo. If that's not malicious compliance... |

| ▲ | ttepasse 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | How do you evaluate respectability in this case? The icon that meant verified on Twitter now only means that someone paid money to X. (And of course you can't read it if you're not logged in.) | | | |

| ▲ | reddotchaser 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Twitter is unusable if you don’t have an account. Only thing that works is direct link to tweets. I imagine there are plenty of privacy conscious people on this platform who don’t have social media accounts so a link to a Twitter account is pretty much useless for them. | | |

| ▲ | contracertainty 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Hey, privacy is a vald concern. I could just as easily say 'When you say "privacy doesn't matter" most of us hear "moron". Try being a bit more civil next time. | | |
| ▲ | ivewonyoung 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Privacy isn't free and comes with its own costs. I give up on a lot of things but I also realize programmers and ops people need to eat too, and servers, bandwidth aren't free. |

| ▲ | jasonjayr 9 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | By default, the posts are all out of order. Top 5 posts are from 2022, 2023, 2020, Jul 19 (Crowdstrike), Jul 18. (in that specific order) Not really useful for the 'latest' going on. Twitter used to be able to do that, was super useful to get the pulse of a current event. | | |
| ▲ | ivewonyoung 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It's a countermeasure to intensive scraping by bots for AI purposes that was costing them a lot of server costs. | |
| ▲ | Dalewyn 9 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Not sure what's wrong with your feed, if I go to that account the top post is from 3 hours ago concerning this outage along with two replies at 2 hours and then ~48 minutes ago located right under it. | | | |
| ▲ | reddotchaser 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yeah I used to use Twitter without an account quite a bit and I guess saw a decent amount of ads to make it worthwhile for them. Don’t understand them messing with non-logged in users. I haven’t used twitter in a couple of years now because of that even though I’d like to. It’s completely useless unless I’ve a direct link to a tweet |
| |
| ▲ | worble 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I didn't downvote, but my only problem is that I can't tell if it's a more respectable source or not since twitter won't let me see anything without creating an account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| The thing about this that's troubling is that you saw it and it troubled you. Most sites linked from HN you don't see that number even though it often numbers in the thousands; and if you do get told, they don't let you use a single click to continue without agreeing. I was pleasantly surprised how transparent this was, and that I could just disagree and continue, instead of the usual GDPR-dodging dark patterns. |
