Reddit will no longer let you opt out of personalized ads::Reddit is removing the ability for some users to opt out of ad personalization based on their activity on the platform, though some countries will be excluded from the change.
The solution is simple: opt out of Reddit entirely.
Thats literally illegal
Only in countries with functioning governments.
I mean yes but reddit actively advertised in Germany recently, and… Well we have some of the most serious privacy laws.
According to the article it doesn’t apply to all users, presumably the EU is exempt from this change in policy (because it’s illegal)
Yeah knowing reddit these idiots just forget about that…
If they do I hope someone finds out about it. Should at least be quite a hefty fine.
I already got permabanned from reddit for saying “cunt” so fuck that cunt website. I used to lament how terrible it was becoming but, now that I’ve removed myself from it, I’m just watching it crash and burn and enjoying every bit of it.
Soon the website will only be bots and shills and a few people who never say anything even slightly aggressive/controversial/opinionated/crass. A boring, sterile shell of its former self— just a safe space for advertisements.
Eat shit and die reddit!
Sometimes there’s just not a better word

It’s a date. See you next Tuesday.
I have seen this same headline about ten times this week. When will the regurgitation end?!?!?
Seriously
Reddit has adds ? Never seen one, uBlock doing its marvelous job…

You’re working on the assumption that they collect that data anyways and if they do then I kind of agree. But in the EU for example it would be illegal for them to collect that data so I sincerely hope theyre not doing that. Well, actually I kind of hope they are doing that and someone finds out about it.
Assuming that no one is breaking any laws here I’d rather get generic ads than targeted since I’m perfectly capable of making my own purchase decisions and don’t want to be manipulated into buying some garbage I don’t need. But more importantly, I don’t want some random companies out there having a detailed profile of me, that’s super dystopian to me. What if that falls into the wrong hands? Oh wait, it would already be in the wrong hands.
