Nothing out of the ordinary on commercial platforms where the user is the product, like Google, Facebook, or reddit.

Here on Lemmy (where most development is done out of charity, and servers are run by donations) it IS the outlier.

Why would it be legal to ignore the law because your product is in alpha or beta? Hell, Gmail was in “beta” for like the first 10 years of its existence.

I agree that “fuck this” might be a bit too strong for some people, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with “uninstalling”, as long as the reasoning behind it is mentioned.

Edit: I see now that you’re talking about hypotheticals, because nobody in this thread is doing that.

If its uncivilised to uninstall an app because it’s bugs are invading your privacy, then I don’t want to be civilised. If anything, I’m doing the author a favour by telling them why I’m using their competitors.

Why is it called “Revoke consent”? Consent was never asked during setup, so how can it be revoked?

Edit: oh great. It doesn’t even save your settings for objecting to “Legitimate interest”. Uninstalled.

It’s ironic, because the companies who claim to have a legitimate interest in tracking my behaviour are the ones I want to block from tracking me most of all.

1. I started out with the og Lemmy.ml. 2.Then created my own instance/bot Lemmit.
2. Thought Lemmy.ml was to slow/unstable, so created an account on Lemmy.world
3. Gotta have a separate account for grown up stuff, so signed up on LemmyNSFW.com
4. Gee… Lemmy.world is kinda slow/unstable… Better sign up on lemm.ee…

I’ll probably retire the lemmy.ml and world accounts though.
