Opt-out is not consent, just like a privacy notice is not consent.
Both assume you have agreed unless you say no. Both place the burden on you to protect yourself from systems designed to extract from you. Both treat your data as already owned by the platform.
Real consent requires:
- Clear information upfront
- Meaningful choice before collection begins
- Easy withdrawal that actually removes data
- Default protection, not default exploitation
Disclosure isn't consent. Silence isn't consent. Opt-out isn't consent.
Opt-in is the only model that treats users as agents rather than resources.

Not 1 willing to even humor my idea, stuck in their unchanging Steam mindset, too afraid of change, even a hypothetical.

Ever bought a game you regret? Steam keeps achievements, timestamps, play history, and other identity‑linked data forever. Uninstalling isn’t deletion. Users deserve the ability to fully remove game records while keeping required banking/licensing data intact. Digital ownership should include digital freedom.

Welp⁉️ Internet #enshittification continues as Cloudflare says humans could become a "rounding error" as bots generate 1,000 times more internet traffic - Just a couple of months after Cloudflare revealed that bots have officially surpassed human traffic online, the company has given its view on what things will look like in five years. It's not good news for us fleshy meatsacks: non-human traffic could be up to 1,000 times higher than human traffic. CDN and cybersecurity giant Cloudflare held its Q2 earnings call on Thursday, during which chief financial officer Thomas Seifert gave a concerning prediction about what the web will look like in the future. "If the current trends continue, we think in five years, non-human traffic will be as much as 1,000 times as much as human traffic," he said. https://www.techspot.com/news/113410-cloudflare-humans-could-become-rounding-error-bots-generate.html #internet #bots #tech #DigitalRights
