roofuskitHow about passing a law that makes it illegal to sell any of someone’s data without express written consent for each sale.
Ep1cFac3pa1mAnd it’s explicitly opt-in, not opt-out.
It’s argued it already is opt-in. That’s the ‘Agree’ button.
I just got a text from my cell service saying they changed the terms of service, and I agree if I continue to use the service and privacy notive. Not even an agree button anymore just a FYI
Yep. “You must consent otherwise you’re opting out of everything in existence and must go live in a cave.” It’s not consent if they didn’t even ask, and it’s not consent if you want to say no but there’s literally no other option in existence. Just opt out of the whole internet and mobile phones I guess.
Yeah this is just whack-a-mole.
Multibillion dollar business idea: shitload of shell companies that keep your data constantly in circulation, undeletable. Subscription service that just re-sends your data to companies after deletion.
Multibillion dollar business idea
cool idea, except i am pretty sure you are late to the market and someone is already doing that 😂
Kinda what GDPR tried and now the internet is almost unusable because greedy companies put cookie banners on every fucking site
What is there to be worried about? We just want to collect valid data for our operations and to share with our 21,678 partners. It’s basically legitimate interest.
And what most websites doing is actually not allowed according to the GDPR, it’s supposed to be a one-click opt-out (which would be easy to automate with a browser extension). Unfortunately, the relevant court is in Ireland, which is the EU’s hub for US big tech.
and it made the situation several orders of magnitude worse.
before you just used your favorite plugin and be done with it. you can’t do that anymore, because you now have to allow for a cookie saying you don’t want their cookies and you have to trust them to respect that. if that cookie is not there, they will bother you for the rest of their lives.
that is ignoring that you would have to individually opt out of every single one of their one million legitimate business partners.
i am using the ublock origin to block the dialogs, but it unfortunately works highly unreliably.
They will just offshore the servers and nothing changes… Like the Do Not Call list, looks great on paper, I’m still getting calls from spoofed numbers from abroad. US/California law means nothing in India.
How about letting me sell my own data for my own financial gain. That way I can sell the parts of my life I want to sell

All you need to do is send them more personal data to confirm it is really you. Then they will delete it all, promise.
the picture is broken
oh wait…now I see it.
People praising this are unaware of exactly how many different companies have our data. Google works with thousands of different companies that collect our data, amazon works with thousands, facebook works with thousands every internet provider and TV company sells your shit to thousands of different companies
also…just websites? Not databrokers or advertising companies who don’t keep the data on websites? This is a weak half measure that doesn’t even make a dent in the problem
so don’t get excited for positive change until there’s a perfect solution? got it 😀👍
You’re God damn right! I criticize everything that won’t work
If you remove your data from one website you know of the data brokers can still sell it to millions of others
This bill that got signed into law is a waste of time
This is a step in the right direction.
Dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good please.
Not for me on Voyager
Or me on DS9
sometimes the image doesn’t federate out as quickly as the post
when that happens, you can always use the little federation link to see the original post
More data collection should be opt in only from the start but at least this is something
I don’t think this is quite as easy as everyone thinks. They do this in Tennessee but it only works for situations that almost never apply.
How about shipping them from gathering the data to begin with?
Because I guarafuckingtee you that those deletion promises are exactly that: promises. They’ll tag your data as “deleted” and simply continue using it anyway

Edit: Rule 7
I’m looking for a job. I’m pretty sure it won’t make a difference if I just post my CV publicly on Facebook or CraigsList at this point. Seeing how many AI rejections I have gotten, I’m sure every major tech company knows all my details by now.
Oh yeah… There are like only a couple companies that handle the background profiling of candidates, this was true even before AI, but now they use AI as part of those systems. Once you are rated by them once, that’s it. They just will reuse that profile and you will be ignored in all future postings if the profile isn’t “desirable” based off their metrics.
I highly recommend you find someone who professionally assists people create CVs and applications that understands how modern AI applications work. They will know how to refashion everything so your application looks new to the AI and will give you tips to game the AI.
They will probably charge like $250 for the help, but it will be well worth it. If you have any colleges, especially community colleges near you, they might offer this service for free to basically anyone in state.
Or just reject working with any company that cant be assed to have a human review applications.
Must be nice being in a place where you can be picky about what job you take. I’ve been unemployed for over 12 months now and would take basically anything at this point regardless of my morals.
laughs in European
I’m pretty sure as much as possible if our data is being collected, too.
The fact that it’s not as fucked up as in the states is little protection, just look at how chat control got shoved up our bums.
Laughing at America is a splendid cynical feel-good distraction, but let’s not kid ourselves and fight for every bit of privacy they are going to try their hardest to wrest away.
I feel like America holds the world back largely by it being so simple for other places to say, “At least we’re not like them.”
Most obvious in any discussion of racism in Latin America.
GDPR already allows us to delete data with just a request, which is what the comment you’re refering to references.
I and I am saying not to get complacent.
Have you used the GDPR to remove any data?
I did sometimes
We’re better off but our situation is not that much better that laugh is justified imo
Here is my question.
How does this affect LLMs. Because as I understand it, once they are trained, you cannot just, “deletr the data out.”
Cute, there are no rules for llms. And even if there are, If it’s a monetary fee, it’s nothing.
Lol. No, they can’t. They can request that their data be deleted in one request. They can’t actually go delete the data from all the servers and backups from all those websites and companies. They can’t verify that anyone else has done that. They can’t verify that even if they theoretically have it doesn’t work like the systems where things are just flagged as redacted or edited out.
For the statement they make to be true this would a thing with an overseeing body with enough power to ensure that all companies and websites store their data in the same way or with perfect knowledge and access to that data and all backups and the ability to fully wipe any data or backup data tied to a given name, email address, social security number, and whatever selection of browser and device fingerprints the user could supply and ensure that data was unrecoverable.
I can make something way better than this. Since any folk requesting that are concerned with places keeping their data, they wouldn’t even have to give their name let alone any other personal information. It would just be a very pleasing and official looking button, and when they click it there would be a reassuring popup informing them that:
“Success! Your request for every other person, company, website, UFO, talking animal, or fantasy creature who may be spying on you in this entire universe and any potential alternate universe to immediately stop doing that and delete any information they may have collected has been sent!”
It would be pretty much just as effective and universally (multiversally?) legally relevant as this is.
tl;dr: Lol
Or as we summarize in security, “how do you know?”
You replied before my edit. I really want to make that website now.
I wonder if I should add a little footnote warning that due to relativity in this universe and the potential for variations in the speed and direction of the flow of time in any other than may exist some recipients may not receive the request before the relatively brief lifetime of humanity as a whole has ended.
watchout for actually enforcing this
Now do the other 50 States!
49 if you’re counting. Lol.
Link to said website, anyone?
