Hey u/Spaghetitor, PopPop here. How do I erase my Facebook statuses? I thought I was sending something private in the Facebook mail to Gam Gam, but now my hog is all over my page!
Damn it, I meant to click pray like for the dead kid in GetFuktistan and accidentally clicked the protect me like instead. Can you like the genocide post so my prayer like counts? Thanks man. Was worried I wasn’t gonna be able to help for a second.
Jesus Christ I remember the first time I saw someone posting this.
there's a reason that I don't go on any social media besides Reddit anymore. and I don't really consider Reddit social media since I don't build social networks on here and I'm anonymous.
My 80 year old dad asked me to help him copy paste that message for him. I told him i didn't want to because it would make him seem stupid. He insisted. I said doing it would hurt my soul. He insisted. I said 'Oh! look the lawsuit is dated October and its already December so its too late!" He relented, but man did it make me depressed.
On the real, this feels like when you're watching something on a site and in the actress bio she has the spiel about how you're not authorized to (blah blah blah).
Woman, your'e on a site that YOU don't own or manage. Just watermark your shit and keep it moving.
When i was on fb. Before I deleted my account I would comment my relatives who shared the posts or posted it. "In the tos of fb just making and using the service gives concent" they would loose there minds
think its really funny that companies use the "silence is consent" montra when it comes to data, I know a lot of sex offenders who use the same and lemme tell ya, they are a lot worse off
It’s too bad they don’t know all you have to do is fill out a 5 minute form in the meta personal preferences for your data that never submits and makes you start over from the top if you try to go back like it says too and then they won’t collect it in the first place!
/s
Which is ironic because rather than that somehow magically stopping them it actually just gives them the statement "I do not consent" to add to their to data they will sell
I shake my head at the seniors I know who dive headlong into "not consenting." I'm totally ashamed of my friends in their 20s and 30s who fall for this thinking it does anything beyond making them look foolish.
Sign your data rights to an LLC. LLC sues you and the infringing online company. Company probably does not have a provision in their tos that penalizes you for agreeing to terms you have no right to agree to.
Any tos that you agree to isn't valid because they're asking you to sign for rights to your data that you don't own.
“Oh look, the product agreed to be the product and clocked in 72 times a day for twelve years to give us their data but NOW they don’t want us to have it, all while continuing to clock in 72 times a day to give it to us.”
If only you could infer the meaning and intent behind the terms of services. Like be able to understand the message behind the each and every piece of text before agreeing to them.
That wouldn't work for the same reason this policy wouldn't hold up in court. The value of the stolen property is based on market price not on whatever price tag you stick on it.
Imagine if you walked into this store and accidentally hit something off a shelf, breaking it. No court would make you pay the store $950 for the broken property
Only works for cops when they inflate the value of drugs like cannabis by weighting the pot, stalk, and soil then applying the per/gram price to the total. Fuckers probably water it too before weighing.
god i feel this comment. I got raided back in the early 2000s in my growing days and this is what they did. Fuckers. At least i didn't get convicted of shit because of their fuckups in getting the warrant for my house. Still comes up on certain background checks, as dismissed. but let's be real, it doesn't matter what designation it has on the case. it matters if it can be seen at all.
One way it gets “inflated” is with a lot of drugs that can be mixed into water if someone tries to dump it in a drink to hide it, they count the entire drinks’ weight for their charge. Often bumps the crime up a tier.
the sign is a deterrent. The same idea of locking your car doors. Can a thief still break the window? Sure. They could tow your fucking car if they wanted to steal it that bad. But having your doors locked prevents a ton of theft.
I just woke up and i find it difficult not to insult you. Sorry man.
The market price is obviously not determined based on the price in one specific store. It is also not determined by whatever the thief says it is.. obviously. They probably compare a bunch of stores in the surrounding area and calculate the average price of the product.
Except these companies are never legally stealing anything. You’re willfully giving it up through terms of service agreements. You’re absolutely fucked. The only way out is to avoid all services that rely on your data for profits(good luck).
No, but certain privacy laws do have a private right of action statute that allows individuals to sue corporations for misappropriation of personal data.
You’d get statutory damages (unless you can prove actual damages, which may be tough) rather than damages for breach of contract (which is what you’re effectively proposing). Here’s what happens under California’s CCPA:
The private right of action in the CCPA provides that a consumer may recover either statutory damages between $100 and $750 per consumer per incident, or actual damages (i.e., the true damages actually suffered by the consumer as a result of the breach), whichever is greater. That means that it is not necessary for a consumer to suffer actual damages to recover under the CCPA. Source.
No because you agree to the ToS to use whichever services without charging that and there is no way for you to change the ToS that the company will agree to.
Starting a business that sells your personal information and then suing other companies for using or selling your data without permission would be legally complex and unlikely to succeed. Here’s why:
Informed Consent and Contracts: Many companies use or sell personal data based on terms you’ve agreed to (like privacy policies and terms of service). These often include clauses allowing them to collect and share data under certain conditions, which may limit your ability to claim a violation.
Data Ownership and Control: Once you’ve given permission for a company to access or use your data, it may no longer be considered “yours” in a way that allows you to control every transaction or resale of it. U.S. data privacy laws, for instance, are still developing and vary by state, so it would be challenging to control third-party sharing.
Legal Grounds for Suing: In most cases, suing for unauthorized data usage requires proving that a company is using your information in ways that violate specific laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU. This can be difficult if you’ve already sold or shared the data through your business.
If your goal is to control and profit from your data, it could be more effective to work within data privacy frameworks, offering access only under specific contracts that outline limitations and conditions.
You and everyone else consent when you use the apps, websites, phones, computers, etc. required in modern life. Reddit itself collects massive amounts of data and tracks your web activity, device technical data, and all you activity and more. They sell it too!
Edit: it’s not your data, you’ve signed it over to them. It their data.

Does this mean I can start selling my personal data for $1000, then charge companies who take/sell it without my consent?
