From the Outlook Android app
There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can’t get an “informed consent” from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.
Europe for sure. USA? Better chance of the president smoking rock at the state of the union. Land of the fee and all that.
Accept all, then block it with Adguard with HTTPS Filter enabled for that app
Close the app and find another one.
Why? What is the benefit?
Honestly i would not ever touch outlook outside tor session
That… doesn’t work how you apparently think it does.
“We respect your privacy to the extent the law requires us to. Maybe.”
They do infact value your privacy. Only to them it is of low value
“We value your privacy”. Proceeds to not value any kind of privacy at all
“We valuated your privacy”, more like
What’s worse is when it’s accept all or manage preferences, and you manually have to turn off cookies for all 718 partners individually, every time you open the app.
Consent-o-matic automates that for you
Not for apps.
So does uninstalling and not using it
Please dont post pictures of text without linking to the source or transcribing it. Blind folks can’t read it.
Genuine question, can screen readers not parse image text in 2024? I personally use some image text to text copy programs on Linux to help speed up my development workflow, so it seems good screen readers have already had this for years?
Ocr can be pretty hit and miss depending on the font, image quality, etc
Use Fairmail/ K-9 mail instead.
Even better
skiff, protonmail, tuta
Imagine applying to private university and reading their privacy policy, where they clearly say, how they get your private information from third parties and share all info with third parties. And when you ask administrator, how can i prevent them from doing that, they say, that they do not share/get info from/to thirdparties. Bravo
Sounds like an easy lawsuit
“If you have to ask, you do not respect my privacy”
WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY!*
*no we don’t. not even a little.
No, I think they’re being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.
- We value your privacy (in a twisted way)
- Our company’s value (increases with access to) your privacy
Or the idea of the title and text was to create a paradox like: The following statement is true. // The preceding statement is false.
whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.
it would suck to individually reject those 797 “partners”.
This button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
this could be its own twilight zone episode
fuck
Or just handle “legitimate interest” (i.e. page works) client side.
I hate this. There is nothing legitimate about it. It’s one of the biggest insults anyone ever gave me.
Recently a pirate website for music, free-mp3-download.net got updated with this crap included. You have to toggle it off every time. All vendors separately. I took a stopwatch, it takes me around 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
Sounds friendly.Give me your wallet! Can’t refuse, I have a legitimate interest
To be fair, free-mp3-download.net is not a URL I would voluntarily go to. I mean seriously…
I don’t judge by domain names.
It’s also listed in the top 2 at FMHY: https://fmhy.net/audiopiracyguide#download-sites
And best site at DB0 megathread (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com): https://rentry.co/megathread-music#free-mp3-download
Doesn’t Ghostery do that for us?
I checked Ghostery just this morning and user reviews claimed they sell your data as well.
Thanks, I’ll look into that!!!
At least they are (forced to be) honest ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like the rest of the wording, too. They’d like to process arbitrary data from the device. And third parties act out of their own motivation as long as it is their legitimate interest…
Use ‘REJECT ALL’.
REJECT ALL button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but you will find notice that some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
That’s why I reject all in Firefox settings along with wiping everything at close
Hehe, keep up spreading that important info 💪✌️. Most people aren’t aware and this practice should be illegal. Reject ALL… Every word they say is just a fucking lie.
I guess ‘Reject All’ means just ‘reject all of the above’, and there are are additional terms that are binding, they just spared you from handling those with this popup, or why is that kind of thing legal?

I don’t think facebook shares much data to other companies, they have more to gain by keeping it to themselves and having all the data to serve their billions of users personnalized ads. Basically the same as Google, they don’t really sell your data. For these companies I never really liked the phrase that says you are the product, youre not really the product, you are what makes their product. If a company sold your data plainly, then yes in thsi case you are the product
It’s Outlook trying to be like Facebook

The only reason they’re even asking is because they’re required to.

Hundreds of partners is very common in news paper sites
