Bob Gray (noeman5@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 24-Sep-2024 08:21:53 JST Bob Gray @eff @washingtonpost glad I have already cancelled my LinkedIn account. Go ahead and use my ANCIENT data. That would prove laughable.

“companies should present users with a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ consent choice.”Im tired of all this "remind me later" or "not now" choices. My answer is no and I won't change my fking mind

Falconem (falconem@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 24-Sep-2024 10:48:03 JST Falconem @eff @washingtonpost I hate companies when they collect data and assume you are okay with that unless you opt out ur self in their complex by design process of opting out
Not collecting data should be by default and required by law !! Or companies will get more greedy and consumers will suffer
