Outlook got updated on my iPhone last night and now they want me to agree to having my data shared with 807 partners.

Important note: I don’t use outlook as my primary email provider. I use Proton with a custom domain but I keep outlook for some old emails.

Ridiculous. How can someone write "we value your privacy" and then share data with 807 partners. If I share anything with 8 people I pretty much consider it public information already, unless I have a very good reason to trust them. Sharing something with 807 companies is probably less private than taking all that data, putting it up on a billboard, and placing that billboard next to the busiest place in town.

807 is too big for a typical auditorium.

Imagine an auditorium filled to capacity with people standing at the back and crouching in the rows. At the front of the auditorium a Microsoft spokesman is saying "Ok partners, here's the confidential data. Make sure nobody shares it beyond this room. Ok, so David wrote a letter to his mother Nancy on March 2nd, which included the keywords 'prostate', 'cancer' and 'diagnosis'. If you'd like to use those words to show David some ads, go right ahead -- but make sure nobody beyond this room knows this confidential information. Next up is Martha..."

There is a monetary value in what you want to keep private, so of course they value your privacy.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

They want you to think that "to value it" in this context means "to have it in high steem". When it's more like "to put a price tag on it".

the reject all button should atleast be normalized

Literally beyond parody

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

807 partners sounds like the answer to what's the point of ad blockers

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago

Some third parties may have a legitimate interest.

Some.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

At least there's a "reject all" button.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Off course they "value" your privacy. They sell and profit so much value out of your privacy

Wait.. is this real or parody? At this point I can no longer tell...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Reality has become parody. There's no difference anymore.

chad europe union, to expose that shit

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I love so many things that EU has done especially with GDPR But then they come up with this crap and you wonder what they were thinking

They were thinking that those caps were among the top items found littering beaches. So they put forward this measure to attempt to curb that issue.

Nobody should be buying single use bottles anyway if there are alternatives available. Maybe that's the quiet part - making them less attractive to consumers

Drinking from a can only works from one side, so I guess think of it that way.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

But are they though? Personally i see many bottles littered and even more lids from cups. Actually why are straws replaced with paper but the lids are still plastic? And why not ban plastic bottles alltogether like they've done with so many other things?

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This looks great! I wish we had this in Australia.

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm sure it will come. The first time I drank from one of these I was confused and thought my cap had a manufacturing defect so pulled it off. It was only afterwards that I saw on the packaging what it was.
