@mcc @bob One of the most fundamental aspects of privacy is autonomy — being able to choose how much you share, with whom, and how. Contrary to how most privacy-conscious software projects tend to see it, that isn't always "no information shared ever." I wish it was easier to tune and express autonomy instead of either just locking everything to zero or letting ad-tech run my life.

 @mcc Same here. For example, I donʼt mind ads, but I donʼt like tracking. I block trackers, but not ads themselves. However, that will often bring up a big warning message asking me not to use an ad blocker. Um, I donʼt use an ad blocker, the site does! Just show me non-tracking ads, contextual ones are fine, just like what we had in the 2000s (when advertisers and publishers actually did better from online advertising!). |
@xgranade @bob Yeah. Actually, more than half of the time when I get angry about a privacy violation, the thing I am angry about is not actually the privacy violation but that the company doing the privacy violation *lied to me*. I want to be able to make decisions and have them be honored.
