Do we all need a competitor to Alphabet/Google? I'd say yes, I don't think Alphabet is behaving fairly.

Santander and Caixa are perfect examples of how to terribly handle fraudulent payment disputes. I worked in the industry is it's kinda well known they don't even follow scheme (Visa/MC) requirements and when you ask them to escalate to scheme they gaslight you.

Knowing this is the hoops you have to jump through in .es means it makes sense they don't have a robust anti-fraud process outside of .es.

Bidet toilet seat
Good mattress & office chair.
Home Automation devices (mower/vacuum/lights etc).

I was given this contract by an ISP and challenged them on their marketing/privacy clauses - they said everything they are doing is legal. -- Spanish.. in c/[email protected]

I asked them to check it(the privacy URL) and validate it wasn't user error and they accused me of "wasting their time"...

No need to apologize, I'm just trying to get clarity if I'm right to call them out or not..

I have one option at 30 euros (this) and another at 60 euros (movistar).

There are others but they have a terrible reputation.

Given that the privacy policy is linked from the contract, can I assume that they will just say "you need to refer to the URL in the contract" and as that URL is non-existent I'm basically not able to protect my rights or does it work the other way?

In the privacy policy it states "We may share information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services or promotions", it doesn't explicitly state who they are..

The company is "Freedom Internet" in St. Cruz, Tenerife.

I've posted a review calling them out but they are stating:

What they are doing is entirely legal <-- Source for pre-ticked checkboxes: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/top-european-court-rules-pre-checked-cookie-consent-boxes-invalid -- Source for not having a privacy policy that is referenced in contract: https://gdpr.eu/data-privacy/
That the contract states they only share information with installers so they can provide the service... <-- this is an outright lie as per the privacy policy.

Can anyone tell me if the above is true?

They agreed to remove clause #2 (promotional offers) but said 1 and 3 checkboxes must be kept.

Also, can anyone access their privacy policy? I reported it as being a faulty URL but they state it works..

Whenever I hear of MTG I think of the Japanese firm and I'm really confused why the business has been assigned a gender -_-

Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one in c/[email protected]

Fun fact: In the UK there is no ability (DVSA/DVLA[requirement to legally taxing/insuring a car]) for legally driving a converted ICE to Electric car. This is due to the MOT test having a test for CO2 and if the test returns null or "out of bounds" the car fails it's MOT and therefore is illegal to drive.

Such a wonderful country.

What's a current or growing trend only you seem to have concerns about? in c/[email protected]

I help maintain Etherpad and this cuts so deep.

The main counter-argument I have is restrictive installation policies especially in Edu/bluechip IE you can do whatever the fuck you want in the sandbox that is your web browser but if you want to install some software you have to wait 4 weeks for approval then another 4 weeks to get approval for each update.

Also security updates/patches for native applications can be really shitty especially on Microsoft inflicted devices.. For example, if you want to update Inkscape on Windows you have to do a whole download/install process. This can lead to security related issues..
