I was getting all enraged by Github removing from their site yet more software they don't agree with. It should be perfectly acceptable to have software that enhances privacy and gives users control over what's on their computers. If I want to use software that bans cookies, why should Github care? Cookie banners are perfectly good applications.

But then I get to the fifth paragraph. Fifth! Where it becomes clear the article is talking about the dialogue boxes that pop up informing us about cookies. "Banner", the image. Not "banner", the thing that bans.
