 @dale_price Exactly, get even with the “We and our 1465 partners value your privacy”. This one is from vice.com.   @mrtnsnp @dale_price That's why I call them "American popup notices". If they had anything to do with the EU, then every time they got a deletion request, their GDPR officer would have to call each of those 1465 "partners", and ensure that they delete the data. Of course you can also tell that this has nothing to do with EU regulation by the lack of a no button. @leeloo Compliance with GDPR is severely lacking, also on sites within the EU. I see the dialogs with the no button hidden several layers deep all the time. But to answer your first question: yes, they are insane. @dale_price   @dale_price There are programs on Android that kinda do this by misusing the work apps profile feature. This is where I throw social media and fast food apps. There are no contacts in the work mode address book, and when I hit the freeze button they all get chloroform naps.   @MontgomeryGator Waitwaitwait... That's AWESOME why didn't I hear about this yet? What App is that? @tobtobxx Shelter by PeterCxy of F-Droid. There's another called Insular by proletarius101 that's the same idea also on F-Droid. While I got you there, NeoStore is my preferred F-Droid client over the official one, it works a bit faster and looks a bit nicer. @MontgomeryGator Thanks! Does Neo Store have unattended background updates? (ie. Without the "update APK" popup?) Because that's the reason I'm using F-Droid Basic. EDIT: Without root. @tobtobxx I don't think so, that being said I'm not entirely sure. I know having both applications doesn't cause conflicts, they both can manage the same apps jointly.  @dale_price imagine getting this request from a contact you haven't talked to in years. Would you block and delete, or only reject the request?
 If you can't remotely revoke the contact info from the dipshit, what good does it really do?  @dale_price   @fredbrooker @dale_price You don't get to share my personal data with 3rd parties.  So, you'd rather have your contacts sharing your data without your consent? I do not. And I'd permanently block folks if they did share my details without making sure I'd consent to that.  @dale_price That's not what demon rectangles are about.
If they weren't about doxing absolutely everyone, it wouldn't be possible for a cr...app to access any contact except for the ones you explicitly permit it to. |
@dale_price just the third button is actually needed.
