It’s not that they now changed something with data collection and sharing within the update. They always did it, all services free of charge do it and most that cost money likely take the extra money as well.
It’s now that they inform you it a short and informative way (1st sentence) and ask for your consent.
What’s really infuriating, are websites and services that have an “Accept All” button but no “Reject All”. Instead you have to manage individually and sometimes I have to flip 30 separate buttons to disable data sharing, where they even call advertisers a ‘necessary 3rd party’ requiring interaction on top.
- Comment on How do you reload a warship ? 11 months ago:
In a selected port, with a crane. That’s basically the tl;dr from the video Kalash posted at 4:23 time index.
But the Houthis didn’t fire at warships. I know some outlets had similar sounding titles but they were clickbait and their own articles were contradicting their title. The Houthis were firing towards merchant vessels and within 20 km or so, there was also a warship, which then reacted.
- Comment on Instagram's monthly subscription 1 year ago:
It’s disappointing that they only exclude the information use regarding ads.
So they will still track everything users do and profile them, just like any other free user. And they can sell to everyone else who pays for user data (e.g. AI learning, market research etc.). With that wording, they could even sell to ad companies, if they e.g. use the data for some algorithm optimisation in their tech department. So they leave the door open to keep selling the data to 3rd parties, while already charging the user ‘starting at’ 12.99€.
