Not suspicious at all!!

Is Orange not available? We use them on the mainland and they’re decent

Exactly!!

On my laptop I have the auto cookie denial extension on Firefox. Also use PiHole for network wide blocking

We Care About Your Privacy

We and our 1609 partners store

Thanks, but no thanks

But it’s not spyware. The eIDAS law proposes that governments can insert certificates that spoof the originator. A subtle difference.

I really hope Mozilla don’t comply

I’m expecting browser companies to offer EU citizens a browser with the eIDAS cert acceptance baked in but outside the EU as they are now

No, that was different. eIDAS is certificate based - those that care will just use a VPN to download a non-EU compliant browser build and only surf with the VPN on. At least that’s my plan.

Yep, same. FF has been my go to browser for years

Story has been debunked. It’s a theoretical paper that was misinterpreted by a journalist

And always 1 day old accounts posting this stuff

Depends on the landlord - some are dodgy and won’t register you because they don’t declare the income

Gotcha

Internet is somewhat restricted but only the most common sites are blocked

Renting requires ID - passport or Spanish ID, same with Internet or a SIM card

Transportation there’s no ID requirements on buses and trains

Here in Spain there’s minimal surveillance outside the big cities. My town (circa 40K residents) has no public cameras in town (I lived in the UK and they were everywhere).

I can’t because I refuse their cookies and then it’s subscription

We already have digital certificates to identify ourselves on government websites to access services.

Most likely the implementation will require sites to demand the cert for verification. What happens after that is the privacy creep

I use TekLanVPN and they accept crypto (ETH included).

Not everywhere. Here in Spain, we pay a 10€ deposit for a commuter train ticket that is valid for 4 months. Travel on route is then free.

A pre-paid bus card makes journeys that usually cost 1,70€ cost 0,45€

This is because these services are government owned, not private

Night vision camera does that
