cazabon, 8 months ago to philosophy So, the whole thing where #CanadaPost has been #illegally taking #information from the #mail you receive, including your #name, #address, and the #retailers you are getting #packages from, and building a #marketing #database from it, which they then #sell to #advertising mailing list services, is interesting #infuriating. "Oh, but you can opt out!" they say. It should be opt-in, of course, but then no one would do so. So go to opt out... well-played, Canada Post. #OptIn #OptOut
