[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (1 child) Pretty sure that's illegal in most parts of Europe. Checking the article it says that the policy has only been updated in the UK and the US. Sucks to be a country without adequate consumer protection, I guess. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago I'm pretty sure it'll turn out to be illegal in the UK too, it's just that the UK isn't in Europe anymore so these things always end up having to get hashed out in the courts and then it always turns out that the UK basically just follows the EU standard anyway. permalink fedilink source parent
