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 ๐๐
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.
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
This image says website, but the law is actually targeted at data brokers.
of that turns out to be true, then that's different.
but from what I understand, databrokers are already required to delete they data they have on you if you request it, but they make the requests very difficult to fill out.
So really the bill didn't change anything at all
Not for me on Voyager
Or me on DS9
