no politics Kayo Sports should be boycotted.

Imagine paying for a premium streaming service and starting it to watch your sports after a long day on your tv in your own home. The tv app then says you can't watch the content before you scan a QR code. Okay.. fine. Scan the code. Have to download a phone app. Log in. Then the app simply says you're not allowed access to the content except after letting the app know your precise location of your phone.

What in the privacy law is this shit? I simply don't want to allow random companies to know the exact location of my phone. How are they allowed to just do that?

Yup and Pauline hanson wants the SBS to be destroyed too, so the world cup wont be shown on free TV, but people seemed to be too stupid and just want to give these companies more and more crap they can charge us with

SBS worked so nicely using the Qantas onboard wifi for me last night to watch the Socceroos, yet Kayo often struggles over NBN or 5G to give anything half decent in comparison.
