This Is What Happens When People Start Actually Reading #Privacy Policies – The Markup

A recent controversy about Zoom’s ability to train #AI on users’ conversations shows the importance of reading the fine print

Google updated it's privacy policy which now allows scraping for all public data to train it's AI products. A logical step but still extremely concerning.

I have updated my #PrivacyPolicy for this server all users on this server should probably read it, I added provisions to denote I will not store federated data longer than two years for the purposes of having a nice #Fediverse experience. No one cares about what you're tooting into the universe after two years #Privacy #MastoAdmin #InfoSec #Cybersecurity #Mastodon

If this doesn't put you off threads, it's going to be tough for people to feel sympathy for the future you find yourself in. Take a pen and scrub out the word naïve if you still have a printed dictionary.

The #internet and all in it would be such a fantastical wonderful place if everyone wasn't trying to make money. For many people the only time they spend on the internet is to exploit it for capital gain, not because they want to share information with others. Be fooled of you must. I never have been and don't intend to start. People underestimate* just how many others want their money. Nothing else.

#Writers and #artists, beware.

In a quiet change to its #privacy policy, #Google now says anything posted publicly online is fair game to be scraped and used to improve its #AI tools.

@davidnason @patrick_h_lauke @keul thank you. I REALLY would love to try it!

But, I won’t put anything on my phone that doesn’t pass my #PrivacyPolicy sniff test. :akkoshrug:

@JonnyT @feditips I like to see if the developer has any interest in my info or not.

I can’t tell that the link doesn’t provide that information.

Finally, if an app doesn’t provide a #PrivacyPolicy, then they don’t have one. If they don’t have a privacy policy, then I don’t want to use the app anyway.

Either way, the developer isn’t providing what I want or need. That means either way they don’t get my #money

Any further discussion at this point is moot.

@jstark @patrick_h_lauke

You’re 💯right!

But you are completely missing the most important thing- accessibility.

The screen reader doesn’t function well with poorly implemented JavaScript, man.

AS A DEV, #ThisShouldMatter!

I’ll condense it- if it interferes with my ability to use the internet, it’s useless

Besides, #UX really should be a thing. How hard is it to embed a document or just provide it text-based version of a #PrivacyPolicy?
#DesignIsAChoice

@feditips I would so love to try the #Mona #Mastodon #app, but their #website and #PrivacyPolicy both require #JavaScript enabled.

To bad. I’d have been happy to pay for something I could trust, and I’m happy to point out when a dev tells you one thing about privacy in the #Apple #AppStore and something else on their website.

I’ve done it here before and I’ve got nothing to lose by pointing it out

We just released version 2.6.0 of Impressum Plus with support for replacing parts (or the whole) of the privacy policy within your backend as well as the legal entity "eingetragene Genossenschaft".

@gruff these companies only have as much power as people give them

#Facebook doesn’t make anything from me- no apps, VPN, browser in privacy mode only, and a big middle finger 🖕 to anything affiliated with Facebook, #instagram, #Google, etc.

Yes, I have issues, but before I did I had a career in research & security, with a very long background in tech

I’m still very good at finding my way around a #PrivacyPolicy. It’s really not that hard

I wish more people would 😕

@aeva did you happen to see a #PrivacyPolicy? 🤔

I did not. 🤨

Please let me know if that changes 👋🏼

People don’t bother reading anybody’s #PrivacyPolicy anymore. #Journalists and writers love to #promote the latest #tech #services, but seldom with a mention about the policies.

That’s just so #irresponsible

Then they complain about their #privacy being invaded.

Really?!‽ it’s there in black and white 🤯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#CaveatEmptor #BeCareful

It’s getting harder sometimes to take the advice of #TechJournalists these days. #BGR put out this article praising the #photography app ReeXpose.

When you take the time to scroll through their #PrivacyPolicy… 🤯

They spell out how they use #trackers. I mean they aren’t trying to hide it because nobody reads the stuff.

Didn’t #Disney teach #desantis a lesson about reading papers recently? 🤔
