     @ghostdancer I remember that there was a legal ruling in Belgium a while ago banning them from tracking people without permission.

     @ghostdancer It was eventually overturned on the basis that Belgian courts don't have jurisdiction over Irish companies.

     @ghostdancer If nothing else, this shows how useful Privacy Badger is. I have it installed at home, but not at work.
