Opt-out is not consent.
@f0x the absolute worst techbro take I’ve heard on the matter is “opt-out of opt-out is implicit opt-in” (paraphrased from https://github.com/tedivm/fedimapper/issues/7#issuecomment-1376333917)
My response:
“opting-out of opting-out is not the same as opting in, because consent isn’t a freaking multiplication problem.”
@Seirdy yeah that one was terrible as well :") fucking scrapebro's
@f0x
Il only there was a word for that.
@f0x opt out is betting on the consumers forgetfulness
@f0x Yeah but there are some good cases for it, like employee pension schemes
Yes this is about Searchtodon. https://social.pixie.town/@f0x/109677935611759965
