> Again, you're talking about an opt-out. GPDR (the law) requires an opt-in.

It is opt-in. You decided to use a browser that implements the full HTML spec. Just use a basic browser.

"Your honor, the victims of my ransomware attack decided to use a modern CPU to run my code. The attack would not have succeeded have the victims used Z-80, so there's no one to blame but the victims themselves."

False analogy.

Ironic that people use this line of reasoning to defend ad blockers (I'm responsible for whatever software I run) but then use the opposite argument when they don't like what the software does.
