… we also need your cookie and tracking preferences. Do you want us to store all possible data about you and share it with everyone? “Yes” or “Yes, but we pretend not to”

They didn't until EU laws, so you can thank them for that.

Thank god that at least they made them ask. Another thing I'm massively happy for is GDPR. I keep getting mails in my inbox for all sort of random accounts I don't remember signing up for that I probably just checked out once and forgot about, asking me if they can keep my data, please, because if I don't reply then they can't, and they would REALLY REALLY LIKE TO C'MON FRIEND BE MY FRIEND

EU: require consent over nonsensitive junk data that's mostly for targeted advertising & isn't strictly to safeguard against identity fraud

Also EU: compel the risky disclosure of sensitive information for identification, propose rules to scan all your chats

We can thank them for getting privacy entirely backward.
