Hello fellow hackers - I work with the Permission Slip team closely (on a related and partly overlapping team) at Consumer Reports Innovation Lab. Happy to answer any questions or get answers if you stump me.
Never answered a single question. This whole thing stinks-- I'm a little heartbroken if not disgusted CR is in the game in this way. They used to be good guys back when the bad guys were a lot more innocent.
Way to trash your brand in a never forget kind of way!
- me-vs-cat 3y agoI recommend waiting a little longer than 13 hours spanning, for the US, Sat night into Sun morning. After all, we need time to sharpen our pitchforks before we use them.
- dazzaji 3y agoYou are correct, I was a victim of the weekend! But I did quickly get a reply from someone on the Permission Slip team and posted it as a reply up-thread this morning. Here, again, is what I got: “this has definitely come up in discussions. Non-profits were initially exempt from complying with data requests, but are set to kick in. We’re keeping a close eye on it.”
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoThank you for getting back to us. Did the Permission Slip team say anything about why they think it's okay for an app of this nature to itself allow/perform what appears to be pretty egregious harvesting and selling of user data?
