Because Plex would never dare to turn this on by default for everyone…?

Yes this is the concent form I get.

I’ve changed the title to better align with the context. Doesn’t change the fact that Plex is a gobshite is ran by a company 🙃

Mate, I’m just posting what is on Plex’s own website. Their words, not mine. You might be able to opt out of this if you’re lucky, or maybe its off by default - idk. But let’s face it Plex is on a heavy enshittification roll, rolling faster than the contestants running for Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling contest. Ain’t nothing stopping them from enabling this for all users much like what Roku did last year.

You can conscent to whatever you like. I’m not touch Plex with a stick.

I already do :) but ty

From the original post:

The Norwegian Government wants to implement the Digital Markets Act in Norwegian law.

Parliament has to vote on it first, but it is another step towards its implementation.

Some relevant sections:

The Norwegian government is now initiating work on a new law that will provide better competitive conditions on the internet in the face of the global tech giants. “The law will give Norwegian consumers greater freedom of choice in the use of digital services,” says Karianne Tung, Minister of Digitisation and Public Administration.

“The new rules will strengthen the competitiveness of Norwegian companies and make their services and apps easier to find online,” says the Minister of Digitalisation.

The regulations are an implementation of the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which targets digital platform companies with a particularly dominant market position. The Minister of Digitisation says that the government aims to submit a draft law for consultation already this year. She explains that the new rules will make it easier for companies to compete on equal terms.

The regulations will apply to digital platform companies that qualify as so-called “gatekeepers”. Today, Amazon, Apple and Meta, among others, are defined as such.

For Norwegian businesses and consumers, this will mean, among other things:

• Companies will have better access to their own user data from the major platforms.
• Third-party solutions must be able to work with the major platform owners’ systems to a greater extent.
• Major players can no longer favour their own services over others on their own platforms.
• It should be easier for consumers to opt out of standard apps and services from the tech giants.
• Better control of your own data: You will have the right to transfer your own data from one platform to an other.

Dont think so no. Everything is docker and linux for a reason…

It could. But the co-founder and staff have replied on the thread without addressing it being false. Feel like they would have called it out being fake if it truly was.

Yeah fair enough, and I do agree. I only reused the title of the forum post where this was originally posted. Have changed the title up now.

Don’t know for sure ofc, but the co-founder has commented in the thread without addressing the issue. They’ve also closed the thread without addressing all together which also seems weird. Surely if it wasn’t him they would have said so?

In addition: Sharing this post form r/selfhosted which also describes the recent Plex situation lately, worth a read.

Was slow for me too but loaded in the end.
