#Consent doesn't mean a thing on the "Human Information Harvesting".
The fact that these or those don't care about their #Privacy or #Freedom doesn't make it less of a criminally punishable act.
Would anyone #Consent make rape, theft, torture, scams, assassination any less of a criminally punishable act?
Democracy is not possible under the threat of "Human Information Harvesting" as it directly attempts against your freedom to choose, sometimes, even obliterating it by managing your behaviour
#FoodForThought — a lot of #Fediverse implementors are Fedi-first, but in @nodebb's case, we're adding #ActivityPub integration to already existing and established forums. It makes me wonder whether I should think about individual users' #consent to have their content federated outside of the local instance.
All along I assumed I'd just build in a global on-off switch for AP integration, but maybe we need more granular user-level opt-in/out here 🤔
Deviantart gets away with stealing other people's artwork for their AI image generator to make money from them without ever having to compensate the artists they stole from.
My unmitigated contempt for tech companies that do this has no bounds. It’s a “yes or no” question. If you lack the integrity to permit people to actually say “no” you’re failing as a company and as human beings. Sorry, but it’s true. Grow up.
@djnavarro indeed, #consent immediately came to mind when I saw this - why should we (users) be very concerned when a company with this mindset asks about consent?
My guess is that the culture around users and their data is so arrogant and self-entitled, that the CTOs, software engineers and UX'ers already assumed the user's consent before showing the prompt.
Showing a prompt is easy, managing the lifecycle of user data isn't.

Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.
Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.
In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

⭐ What I have said is that some people absolutely do not want them. And I said I think we should request for their consent before forcing them to use them.
🎓 Don't believe everything you read.
🎮 On a related topic: later this month the NGO I work with is publishing the first of a series of free video games that teach and encourage the use of critical thinking.
"Under the plans, which have been discussed with regulators in Brussels and Ireland, Meta would offer an ad-free version of Instagram and Facebook for those willing to pay, or a free version for those who consent to be targeted by ads based on their personal information"
This does not appear to meet the #GDPR definition of #consent...
