I've found that it's pretty easy to get people to inadvertently accept FaceTime calls if you continuously spam them. (I was on the receiving end of this attack.) Here's how it works. 1- It's very easy and instantaneous to redial someone on FaceTime if they decline your call. You can just spam the call button and the target will get a continuous ring, basically. 2- Even if they turn on Do Not Disturb, many people have…

Even if it was, enable airplane mode, block caller, then disable airplane mode.

This is all you see when clicking techcrunch articles: https://imgur.com/a/mId1Jfi If you "manage" your settings to block everything it'll just be back next time. As a consequence, I haven't read a techcrunch article since June 2018.
Interesting, I have never seen that and even tried in an Incognito tab and with Safari which I don't use regularly.

what privacy setting? i never get that popup. techcrunch is ok imo. the verge on the other hand won’t load for 3 seconds if i have an ad-blocker turned on. so i stopped visiting it since their ads are 90s level of terrible.
techcrunch is using oauth, one of the absolute worst offenders. They should be banned from hn altogether.

The Verge doesn’t give me, in the UK, any options to control my level of cookie acceptance. They offer me two policies to read an an accept button.
At least they don’t redirect the page so you can block the overlay with an ad blocker and be done. Not saying this is OK (and definitely not compliant with the GDPR) but still slightly better.
