Big Blu GnuBig_Blue_Gnu@mastodon.socialOct 14, 2026, 3:39 AM@eff No, don't opt out. Reject it or don't reject it. There is no "opting out".
Jamespublicwondering@mastodon.me.ukOct 14, 2026, 7:46 AM@eff this is a last resort, for example if you're forced to use these tools by your job. Better to actually opt out by not using big tech.
Asking big tech to respect your privacy is like asking Henry Ford to build you a custom car.
When we discover, some years into the future, that they were not honouring these preferences, what will the consequences be for big tech?
