We value your privacy. We’re selling it.

WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY!*
*no we don’t. not even a little.
No, I think they’re being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.
I’d say they’re not lying. They do value your privacy. It’s making them, and 797 of their closest friends, a lot of money.
They spelled “violate” wrong.
whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.
it would suck to individually reject those 797 “partners”.
This button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
Recently a pirate website for music, free-mp3-download.net got updated with this crap included. You have to toggle it off every time. All vendors separately. I took a stopwatch, it takes me around 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
Sounds friendly.To be fair, free-mp3-download.net is not a URL I would voluntarily go to. I mean seriously…
I don’t judge by domain names.
It’s also listed in the top 2 at FMHY: https://fmhy.net/audiopiracyguide#download-sites
And best site at DB0 megathread (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com): https://rentry.co/megathread-music#free-mp3-download
“We value your privacy”. Proceeds to not value any kind of privacy at all
“We respect your privacy to the extent the law requires us to. Maybe.”
797 partners? Might need to get tested haha
That’s why F-Droid exists.
Anything ran by Microsoft is a privacy concern (includes Windows, Teams, npm, GitHub)
npm?! Since when?
Looks like early last year. News to me, too
Yup. It’s privately held, not a community or non-profit-held registry.
At least they are (forced to be) honest ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like the rest of the wording, too. They’d like to process arbitrary data from the device. And third parties act out of their own motivation as long as it is their legitimate interest…
Use ‘REJECT ALL’.
REJECT ALL button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but you will find notice that some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
Hehe, keep up spreading that important info 💪✌️. Most people aren’t aware and this practice should be illegal. Reject ALL… Every word they say is just a fucking lie.
There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can’t get an “informed consent” from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.
Europe for sure. USA? Better chance of the president smoking rock at the state of the union. Land of the fee and all that.
The correct syntax for embedding images is:
[title] is technically [alt text] for readers and vision impaired, so the title should be more of a description of the image.
Use Fairmail/ K-9 mail instead.
Even better
skiff, protonmail, tuta
