So i clicked okay, not because i trust them but because they just said that THEY would stop showing me ads… They didnt say that they wouldn’t keep farming my data and selling it to other parties.
I didn’t read the whole contract, but from the blurb i got thats certainly what it sounded like
It’s really quite perverse if you think about it.
Not surprising that they used the Irish Data Protection Office to implement these. They probably paid them off quite handsomely, or they are simply incompetent. Im leaning more towards a mix of both with incompetence being higher given how my reddit case was handled with them.
Pay us cash or data is quite corrosive. I suppose it is fair in a capitalist system where the line must go up, how do we argue this to the general public (and by extension our legislature).
Also is there a reason to believed Meta won’t sell a paying user’s data anyway?
