Privacy concerns are a very popular and valid talking point on Lemmy, so I would like to gather your thoughts and opinions on this. (Apologies if it’s already been discussed!)

Would you support this? Would it work or even be viable? (If it could somehow overcome the rabid resistance from these big companies). What are your thoughts?

Personally, I’m getting more and more agitated at the state of this late stage global capitalism, where companies have the gall to ask you to pay or subscribe to their products, while they already make money from you for selling your data. It’s been an issue for a long time now, but seems to really be ramping up.

    If I go to google, do a search, and click a link they will be tracking all of that with nary a term or condition in sight.

      I believe if you completely new (like after deleting cookies) they will make you agree to the terms and agreements before you can use the service.

      There’s a “Terms” link in the bottom right, though most people will never read it because most people don’t actually care.

      It makes you agree to the terms on first use. Does it every time you enter private browsing.

        I just tried that on Firefox Focus, which is always in private browsing mode, and there was no “accept terms and conditions.”
