    the picture is broken

    oh wait…now I see it.

    People praising this are unaware of exactly how many different companies have our data. Google works with thousands of different companies that collect our data, amazon works with thousands, facebook works with thousands every internet provider and TV company sells your shit to thousands of different companies

    also…just websites? Not databrokers or advertising companies who don’t keep the data on websites? This is a weak half measure that doesn’t even make a dent in the problem

        You’re God damn right! I criticize everything that won’t work

        If you remove your data from one website you know of the data brokers can still sell it to millions of others

        This bill that got signed into law is a waste of time

      This image says website, but the law is actually targeted at data brokers.

      You’re mad at something you agree with.

        of that turns out to be true, then that’s different.

        but from what I understand, databrokers are already required to delete they data they have on you if you request it, but they make the requests very difficult to fill out.

        So really the bill didn’t change anything at all

      sometimes the image doesn’t federate out as quickly as the post

      when that happens, you can always use the little federation link to see the original post
