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.

There is a disturbing amount of “but mah data” pearl clutching by a lot of very ignorant people in this thread.

Yeah, what a bunch of nuts! It’s only crazies that want some reasonable semblance of privacy in the digital aspect of their lives.

What’s the worst the could happen? It’s not like data breaches, blackmail, or doxxing are regular things.
