@dansup probably pay for it if they didn't steal all my information and use it against me.

@dansup *snorts* support businesses that rely on ads. As if any of those so called "businesses" that rely on ads were ones that I would want support in the first place.

@dansup Not sure why Facebook cares so much. For larger advertisers, this change matters quite a bit as it will forcibly change their marketing strategy, but for smaller advertisers, there's already a workaround that still allows tracking events. The difference between the two is the limit to only 8 trackable conversions per website, instead of a previously unlimited number. It doesn't protect user data as much as it limits the number of actions on a website advertisers can track.

@dansup Tracking activity outside of Instagram? It's the good old handcuff strategy: first make your product essential to a lot of people, and then push things they would never have accepted in the first place.

@dansup I would prefare to
pay a social media flatrate
and get anonymous access to all content,
without adds, cokies and no data collection. (just dreaming)

@dansup Would so much rather pay a small fee than get stalked across the internet πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@dansup even if you needed to pay to use Instagram, that wouldn't make you their customer. You are and always will be the product being sold. Your time, attention and well being is the product that Instagram sells to its customers, the ad companies and data sponges.

@dansup ballsy, right after this mass leak thats just happened. but i guess thats the playing card. people accept, they get away with what happened prior

@dansup I am looking forward to clicking "No" on so many app prompts in the next month. Fun fun fun.

@dansup the obvious response that I hope someone makes is "so I can pay to not get ads?" πŸ˜‚

@dansup And most people will agree just like they agree to everything else.

TRIGGER WARNING:
Dear Instabook User,

Thanks for using #Instagram, you can help keep Instagram free of charge by killing #smallBusinesses you love, killing your entire family and then killing yourself.

@dansup The way that's phrased is pretty wild.

"Please let us continue to track everything you're doing on your phone."

I really need to find a decent Pixelfed instance ASAP.
