(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: β€œTHIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

"Advertisers in sensitive or regulated verticals such as dating, health, financial services, or politics are excluded from advertising on ChatGPT at this time."

Why dating? Easy (but perhaps not entirely accurate) to assume that's in response to Claude right?

OpenAI's privacy policy update is illuminating. Why are they harvesting contacts? Adding social features? Surely that was on the road map.

You can still turn off location tracking in iOS, which should override any "consent" TT claims you're providing here. But Apple apparently is apparently scared to enforce their terms now, so how reliable this is is anyone's guess.

TikTok Updates to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy dark pattern

TikTok's new ToS and PP update shared with users via pop-up that only accepts (no, I am not on TT, this was raised to me by my begrudgingly privacy-aware SO). Brazen disregard, crazy anti-consumerism. Best of luck with your ad network.
