And they're collecting data about you without your knowledge or consent, with no mechanism for you to discover they hold data about you, or a mechanism to insist they correct or remove it.
I hate the system as it is —the "do not track" header should mean something— but I'll take a disclaimer, an explanation of how they plan to use my data, and an opt-out over the Wild West.
They're catching up but it'll be a while. The Federal HIPAAGLBACOPPAFERPABBQ are all pretty toothless and even the golden child, California's CCPA is a series compromises that doesn't accomplish that much.
- amne 3y agoYou go to a coffee shop. First time you mention you want ethiopian blend blah blah. Next morning the barista confirms you want ethiopian blend before you even mention it. The morning after that there's no talking needed on top of "Good morning". Coffee supplier now tells the barista he should promote some coffee and he gets paid for doing it + sales percentage. The barista next morning promotes some bags of ethiopian blend to you to increase the conversion rate. Replace said barista with a website. You did not consent to anything and I'm not aware of any laws related to this.
