How are rights “rights” if you can be coerced or tricked into signing them away.

That entire concept is bullshit

“Ok a new law just passed. I need all of you ‘workers’ to sign this document stating I’m allowed to whip you and your vote only counts for 3/5ths of a person”

Kinda defeats the whole point of the laws in the first place.

Right shouldn’t be able to be “waived”

We can have legally binding checkboxes, like a nutrition label

“Does this ToS allow the selling of user data to third parties”
“Does the ToS allow collection of location data”
“Does the ToS allow collection of biometric data”
“…accelerometer data”
“Does the ToS claim ownership of data created by the user, or the users device”

And so on

Yes we’d need an entry for every type of bullshit these EULA’s try to pull, but that’s where we are at.

ToS have a severe conflict of interest wherein the author tries to preemptively fuck over the consumer while hiding that they are trying to do this. We require regulation on companies to protect consumers, and I imagine that solution looks like a standardized and legally binding “nutrition” label.

Until something like that is enforced by the power of the state, ToS are a losing battle for anyone without an army of lawyers and cash to burn.

It already is too easy to frame someone, and you didn’t have to spoof their DNA to do it.

Just bribe the dna guy to say it matches and done

ISP’s have been collecting and selling browser history since 2010 at least

Them was Obama years, iirc

You wouldn’t happen to have all those needed settings changes in a conveniently shareable list, would you?

Unfortunately true

But they didn’t start that way

What a load of shit.

Not only have they been doing this, blatantly, since the 2000’s (remember PRISM?), but even credit report agencies were originally setup in the 80’s to do exact this, and exploit this exact loophole for the government.

Did big scwary orange man bad do that, too?

Let’s take a moment and acknowledge that it was never hard to make searches private.

It’s just that doing that requires trusting a company not to fuck with you behind the scenes and sell you out, and ensuring that doesn’t happen is fucking hard

All moderators in a nutshell?

Unless there’s a strong correlation between those who set fingerprint protection to strict and those that disable telemetry

In that case they’re about to piss off a much larger portion of their users than they realize

The real answer
