And yes, I am aware that I can turn off this feature and "just" block the person, but the damage has been done. Some of you don't have abusers/stalkers/harassers and it shows, through the careless product decisions you keep making over and over in the name of engagement.

CW: abuse/harassment If you have a messaging app, you should not auto add/alert all new contacts by phone number—sometimes people have blocked contacts in their phone. You've just now reminded me of someone who harassed me and alerted them of a way to contact me. 1/2

Jesus Christ @zoom_us, you've apparently let a whole school in Chile sign up for a paid account using my e-mail address, because you never verified it. I went to create my own account, it said I had one, so I "forgot password", and now I own this school's admin account.

thinking about how software companies slowly chip away at the idea of consent by turning every "no" into "not right now," every "stop this" into "do this less often," every "i don't want that" into "maybe later"

Facebook’s “clear history” tool only disconnects your off platform data from your on platform data. The data is still collected as before -D

Facebook has just released a tool that lets you turn off some third-party tracking. But changing the new setting requires 9 different clicks, in a corner of the site that most users will never see. Here’s how to go turn it off now. (1/6) eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
