I think they probably wake up thinking exclusively about how to increase their net worth, through politics and marketing, at the expense of low information voters.

Have you seen the price of a decent piece of avocado toast though?

1990: "We don't do that, do that yourself at home. GTFO"

2024: Starts at $11.95 just for avocado, addons are extra

No. Read closely. Both require it to be in the app.

It's Apple Review Guideline 5.1.1:

(i) Privacy Policies: All apps must include a link to their privacy policy in the App Store Connect metadata field and within the app in an easily accessible manner...

For Android it's in their User Data article:

Privacy Policy All apps must post a privacy policy link in the designated field within Play Console, and a privacy policy link or text within the app itself...

It is a requirement of both Android and iOS app stores to have a policy prominently displayed for users.

This seems shitty for consumers, but I think it's not new shit - it's just a window into the reality of exploitation we have all been living with our entire lives and it's uncomfortable to confront that giant turd we don't like to think about.

Retailers like maximum profit and they are going to point to supply/demand to justify it. With these digital price tags, they're just equipped to do it more quickly and more often.

At first, I was thinking: What if I grab an item from the shelf and then it's 20% more expensive by the time I get to checkout. Then, I realized they're just going to claim I saw the final price on the checkout summary and should have denied the purchase at that time.

If we legislate anything, it should be the clarity around checkout/returns imo.

Oh yeah, valid point!

Try the Hogo mobile app - they will do some of these for you for free every month or pay a month and do removals on all the sites they cover, then discontinue.

Why would you answer your front door for police at all?

If they're saying "we're breaking down the door" or something, I can imagine answering but, otherwise, I'm not saying a word and I'm hoping they just go away.

I do not pronounce that part of a URL. Who still does that? Why would you need to do that?

Neither of those links contain information relevant to their privacy pro removal product, which only runs on your local device and is definitely not supported by advertisements.

However, I suppose I can see how you may not trust the brand due to their browser and search engine have integrated ad tracking.

I 2nd the DuckDuckGo recommendation.

The way their service works is the MOST private imo. Runs locally and shares minimal data during the takedown request process.
