@libertepourmoi @poVoq also the citation 'Member States shall ensure' and saying thus doesn't apply to US companies is not correct. The language about Member States is because it is a *directive* for those states to make a law, not a statement about the territorial scope of that law.

@Weslee consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the one recommended below auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends the legally binding reject signal.

@Morse depends on your threat model. nation states surely have alexa zero days to easily hot mic a house.

@Kidplayer_666 it does? specifically says withdrawal of consent must be as easy as giving it. just not properly enforced.

@skilledtothegills would be forbidden for them to train on actual content from calls under EU law, as it would be in breach of the ePrivacy Directive (read alongside something called the European Electronic Communications Code, which gives similar obligations to 'over-the-top' providers as to classic telecoms). Not that US tech firms have a great history of adhering to EU law.

@Notnotmike pretty well-known! also OKCupid started warning Mozilla users about it based on HTTP headers which was an interesting form of protest https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-26868536
