There needs to be more laws and regulations. In this system, companies will use every legal way to make as much money as possible. This is especially true for public companies.

As an extra FU, if you want to opt out of data sharing with partner advertising on the Magenta Marketing Platform you have to know your Android or IOS advertising ID number or you have to install an app … which most likely profiles you and sells your data to yet another 1000 partners.
Yeah, what I wouldn’t give to have each person responsible for this madness sent to Dante’s Inferno worst ring of hell.

That is a breach of GDPR, default has to be opt out. We don’t need new laws we just need the existing one enforced.

Does GDPR even apply here?

If I had a dollar for every time GDPR was whipped out incorrectly…

Fuck it, I"m going back to a landline where only the NSA can spy on me. My phone has not been a net benefit in my life.

The only thing smartphones offer over computers is more convenience and addiction. I read a few articles over the last years about teens who recognize this and went dumb-phone only. Wonder how they’re doing now.

Fuck this and all, but I’m also curious about how this works. What is the output? What is the data product that they’re selling and how to companies use it?

Thanks. I just went and disabled it. I also found that they had “products and services notifications” turned on. I know I attempted to disable all advertising and monitoring stuff shortly after I signed up, but I can’t say for sure whether I had missed this section at that time or if they kindly turned it on for me between then and now.

Or they added a new setting and left it on by default without telling you. I’ve seen this happen with a few sites before

Like, a law to enforce adoption of encrypted and privacy respecting communication protocols? Restoring end to end principle on the Internet?
deranger@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I still don’t even see the things they’re talking about. Wonder if they’re rolling it out in groups.

Are you logged in? It appears you can go to the privacy settings page and set some (not all) settings without being logged in.
