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.

Literally beyond parody

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I was certain this was parody before I went and read your text. wtf

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

If you said to someone "can you keep a secret" and they said "I value your privacy, I'll only share your secret with 807 others", I doubt you'd be telling them many secrets.

Might as well just get your secret printed on a billboard and hang it up in town.

It's been normalised for years, maybe decade. The only difference is that now they have to bother with telling you and asking for permission (which some still ignore completely).

Also, since we're talking Outlook, some mail client send your credentials to their servers to improve your user experience by fetching mails on their end, meaning that not only data from your device are sent to whoever paid for them, but your actual mails are free for them to access without you ever knowing. The new outlook on desktop does that, but outlook is not the only one to do this.

We live in the greatest of times.

They did that before. They just didn't tell you how many partners!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

That's GDPR coming through.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Some third parties may have a legitimate interest.

Some.

Lmao you're personal info is getting a train ran on it 🤣 😂

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's worse than that meme.

.... You know the one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You mean the girl with 5 black dudes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

See, I told you that you knew the one.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

Oh it's very real. Microsoft is one of the absolute worst companies for amount of raw data they hoover up.

Don't believe it? Try logging into the Outlook Web client with uBlock or uMatrix turned on and look at the number of requests it stops.
