@aussocialadmin @MastodonEngineering Appreciate you sharing this information, but I shouldn't have to *disable* it. #quotePosts were supposed to be #optIn, not opt-out.

Pressemeldung bzw. Produktwerbung erhalten. Am Ende mit folgendem Hinweis: »Liebes Redaktions-Team, sollten Sie künftig keine Themenvorschläge oder Pressemeldungen mehr von unseren Hidden Champions erhalten wollen, geben Sie uns einfach kurz per E-Mail ein Zeichen und wir nehmen Sie aus unserem Verteiler!« 🤦

Kudos for the opt-in default for sharing usage information.

Popup after installing KDE Neon, that asks whether you want to share anonymous usage information. It has a slider, labeled "plasma", that is by default set to "Disabled".

@hauswirtschaft_info @elbekai sehe ich auch so, ein #OptOut dürfte es ohne #OptIn garnicht geben 🤨
Im Falle der #ePA ist das ein #ZwangsOptIn, ob das rechtens ist?🤔
Viele wissen nicht um der Gefahren des #Datenschutz oder wissen garnicht wie sie sich abmelden können.

Statt #OptIn setzt die #GroKo auf eine, für #Werbeindustrie und #Datenhändler freundliches #OptOut und verkaufen uns dies als "komfortable" und unbürokratische" Lösung.

No, #EBay, you fucked it up again. #Surveillance and #DataHarvesting must be #OptIn, which means it's *off* until the user chooses (opts in).

Instead? The “Use personal data for AI development and training” setting was added, and everyone's account defaults to “Yes”. Without ever asking our informed, specific consent.

Wrong! Stop treating your customers like cattle to be farmed.

To turn off what should never have been turned on:

Go to accountsettings.ebay.com.au, select the “AI Training Preferences” option. Then turn off the toggle switch for “Use personal data for AI development and training”.

When you turn it off, the page displays a notification, “Opted out”. Acknowledgement that they default turned it on, requiring you to opt out. Arseholes.

Ebay opted you in to AI training on your personal data.
Perhaps #question this trend? I doubt many of you want this.

Apparently, "To turn this off, sign in to your account click on the Hi (your name)! > My eBay > Account > AI training preferences and you can toggle off the permission.'

Image from post says-

eBay have chnged their terms of service and you're automatically opted-in for your personal data to be used for AI development and training.
To turn this off, sign in to your account click on the Hi (your name)! > My eBay > Account > AI training preferences and you can toggle off the permission.

Good luck!

In general, I'm against capital punishment.

But I'm willing to make an exception for companies that re-add you to marketing mailing lists every time you make a purchase and claim you "opted in" to receive their spam.

So now a CoPilot like thing is being built into Google Maps.

Don't forget that Organic Maps is a thing.

The article is light one details (veiled advertising) re: whether it is opt in/out, user interface, or what the retention and Identification policies are around this spywa^H^H^H^H^Hfeature.

I'm like a bad hair day away from adding Google's domains to an IP blocklist.

Uhm, Mailchimp... I'm not sure this is legal.

#consent #optin #optout #marketing #mailchimp #intuit #newsletters

A checkbox with the text "I don't want to receive emails about Mailchimp and related Intuit product and features updates, marketing best practices, and promotions from Mailchimp. By not checking the box, I agree to be opted in by default."

First of all @alexisbushnell , I took Gargron's handle out of this response because I guess that he has tons of notifications and better things to do than read every disagreement.

Second, I realy hate to say, I don't like this at all, because it's not KISS.

Just display the #altText screen so people can start typing.

If they click it away several times, set it to #optIn in the settings.

Screen of the text box of mastodon in desktop view.
It reads:
Maybe the last time it will be automatically displayed, add some text like:
"Did you know that it challenges your mind creating funny alt text's and that it hands you a lot more characters, like really many many more?
You even could start writing love letters most people wont see because they don't check the altText.
Anyway, you close this help request again and we wont bother you anymore to become part in a  cultural community achievement of ours and to have more fun. 👍"

Of course it's recommentet to revise this text proposal, not only because the one how wrote it is known to be a sever dyslexic, but because it's even worse: he/she/it is a trilingual dyslexic. Out of the simple reason that he refused to stop challenging his mind.

Also because while think about this idea a little longer, while writing this altText, you come to the conclusion that if you already have the altText window open, you could push every time a different text into it, blowing the mind of the newbee's with nudging text's using term's like:
"we", "us", "ours", "fun", "challenging", "become part".

"#fediHint
Did you know that with one or two hashtags in your troet's you can add visibility to them because they will be listed in specific streams that can be followed?"
// Please replace this text with your own image specific altText, so people have an idea what it is about.

WTF I have still character left.
Oh no, now it's only 1.. I mean  42.

Lifehacker: Apple Intelligence Is Now on by Default, but You Can Turn It Off. “According to the update’s release notes, Apple Intelligence has gone from an opt-in feature to an opt-out one. In other words, if you have an AI-compatible iPhone (meaning the iPhone 15 Pro and above) or iPad (meaning it has an A17 chip or above), Apple Intelligence will be toggled on by default as soon as you […]

The Register: Why is Big Tech hellbent on making AI opt-out?. “…for some reason, forcing AI on customers is acceptable. Rather than asking ‘we’re going to shovel a load of AI services into your apps that you never asked for, but our investors really need you to use, is this OK?’ the assumption instead is that users will be delighted to see their formerly pristine applications cluttered with […]
