I didn’t agree to shit. If I did agree it was probably because some company twisted my arm and didn’t offer a more respectable service that doesn’t gobble up every bit of data to resell possible. Probably through every mobile carrier.

My understanding is that individual cell location data is actually protected by some court case, that's why the pigs love big tech... they don't need a warrant, they got a guy on the inside processing their request based on "trust me bro, daddy sam needs this data"

Their all scamming. Because praise the almighty dollar. Its like making a decent product to rob the owner. Trojan scam practices. Vote with your wallet people.
They don’t need a warrant because rules are for those of us who are ruled.

We need protections limiting the length and level of effect of clickwrap agreements.
For now, I will continue using “inspect element” to change the text “agree” to “disagree”, and completely skip proprietary phone apps.

I can’t imagine that the terms are sent back to the server, only the clicked_agree=True

Yes. As far as I’ve seen, it never changes what gets sent to the server, which is why I’m able to get away with it.

They will justify what they want. The rules are made up, and the laws don’t matter.
I’ve made my peace with the eventual gestapo knock on my door. If you haven’t, just stop using social media entirely but it’s probably to late if you can see this.
Even not having an account is enough I would guess (I’m no computer wizard). Even wizards screw up a spell now and again (thanks computer wizards for your community service, I do love gaming a shitton and lemmy is Hella rad)
IP addresses linked to threads opened, comments sections browsed can be used to create a profile by some dipshit AI programmed by some dipshit. Zero social media is the only way. Just don’t look at it.

Opting out of social media these days is considered inherently suspicious. It definitely came up the last time I had to undergo a background check for work.

I have a LinkedIn account. It has the list of recent jobs I’ve held and my education.
That’s my social media presence.
Things like Lemmy are my secondary presence that I keep anonymous.
It’s never been an issue during my background checks. But then, if anyone ever dared to ask me about my lack of presence, I’d give them a level stare and tell them that I practice what I preach.
They said straight up, “I googled you and couldn’t find a Twitter or Facebook account. What are you hiding?” I had to teach them who Armand Jean du Plessis was.
I have created a Home Alone inspired shotgun trap at my front door for when the inevitable comes knocking at my door for shitposting too close to the sun. (This is also a shitpost, maybe)

Agreeing to location services for the purpose of performing the apps intended use, is not the same as agreeing that the government can track your location on a whim. Where the fuck are the constitutional lawyers who fight this kind of egregious constitutional violation?

The trick that the Government has learned is that it’s easier and cheaper to buy your location data from a third party.
No warrant necessarily since the data is available to anyone who wants to buy it.

It shouldn’t be though. Nothing a company gleans from your use of a product should be available for purchase by any third party. This should have been legislated two decades ago.

There should be an edit function on a comment. Of course clients and federation vary.
There is but I didn’t want to visibly edit the comment 14 hours (or however long) after I made it.
Hope that’s ok with you and a good enough reason for my choice. Or do you have more ‘advice’?Apologies, those last two sentences were unnecessary and rude.

Here’s the article without the fucking pay wall.
I have a fully automatic 2x18tb magic hard drive. I’m a member of 4 private trackers. I’ve been disabling JavaScript since I could click a mouse.
404 are legit journalists and I pay the $8 a month because they do damn good work.

When?
404 demanding my private information to access their article about how I shouldn’t give my private information to companies.
