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.

legitimate interest is a shitty data privacy loophole

Hi could you give me your name, address, social security number, browser history, sickness history, political affiliation, sexual orientation, pay grade please 🥺

I have a legitimate interest! It’s identity theft

TIL that some people have identity theft as a hobby
You never just buy a yacht for yourself in someone else’s name as a gift for yourself to reward yourself for finally learning that new skill?
I only subscribe to porn sites. As a hobby, of course
