Is this even legal? (lemmy.world)

I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don't even use chrome, i've switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

They had to separate it you numpty. They literally DID get in trouble because it was illegal. How are you seriously missing this detail?

I've been a Linux warrior since '98. I've hated MS for decades now.

But not everything they do is illegal.

You're talking about the past. Notice you're not explaining how this thing in the present is illegal.

Having some something illegal doesn't mean everything you do is illegal afterwards.

Way to completely and utterly miss the entire point of ethics. Does it HAVE to be illegal for it to be bad when it is WORSE than what they've already gotten in trouble for in the past? Why must I have to point at a law in order to say it shouldn't be?

If you even begin to hate MS, why are you defending them with piss-poor logic?
