This is not ok - Lemmy

Saw this today and now I’m reconsidering if Boost is right for me. I’m really hoping this is shitty boiler plate that was accidentally copied and over looked because that is some bullshit to say “unless we decide we want to use your personal data for whatever we want”. I know “legitimate interest” is a phrase from the cookies law but there is no legitimate interest justification for this. My data is my data and advertisers can fuck off, as can Boost if this the direction it’s going.

How about we do anyway…fuck you. We don’t actually need your consent. We need to present the perception that we care about you. This is just a round about way to actually get consent and scrape every fucking piece of data you give.

It’s required by Google to run the ad network or else they won’t publish the app.

Oh, so they have no control, right? Aw, poor developer…

Required by Google. Yeah we gathered that much. Deceptive is what it is. It’s not a “yes or no”. It’s a “yes or yes” shifting the burden of the GDPR law on the user.
