Just checked my T-Mobile privacy settings. I had most everything turned off, but then I saw a few were turned on (such as my opt-out marketing settings). Opting out of everything took 2 tries to have them all disabled (sludge).
This one was seemingly a new one, and makes the hairs on my neck go up:
Make your choice about profiling and automated decisions.
You can tell us not to use your personal data for certain kinds of "profiling" that we might do in the future. This toggle allows you to opt out of having profiling used for future decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. We don't use profiling to make these kinds of decisions now. Turning this "OFF" or gray means "opt out of profiling and automated decisions."
For some reason I cannot turn off the "Alert the Gestapo if I remain too close to an abortion clinic for too long option" on my account, says not available for Texas accounts.
You're going to have to wait until Texas voters collectively grow the ability to reason and a backbone before you can toggle that option off (yes, I know it's not all of them but the fact that Abbot and company aren't metaphorically tarred and feathered then run out of town on a rail for even suggesting redistricting right now is telling)
I figured the name was a joke but I am aware of how draconian their laws were so it wasn’t outside the realm of possibility that they had companies reporting location data for abortion clinics. I was just surprised if that was occurring and transparent enough to be an opt out setting on your account
1. The early Church, including some Apostles, thought "the end times" were imminent. People have not stopped thinking this for 2000 years. I think the conclusion here is obvious.
2. Anti-abortion laws, especially the extra draconian ones in Texas, have nothing to do with "protecting babies". They are about continuing the regime of oppression and subjugation of women that they lost control of beginning in the 60s. That's it. They do not care about "babies", they care about control.
3. Even if they cared about "babies", there's that whole "Congress shall make no law respecting religion" bit. Christianity is not entitled to define what life is, when it starts, and who or what violates their ideas. You call it murder. Some people call meat murder. Notice how it's left up to individuals to decide about eating animals?
Arguing that being against killing babies can only have something to do with being christian, only makes my obviously polemic expression more fitting. You don't need religion to see and point out evil.
If a man uses his freedom to make a bad choice and end a human life for there own selfish reason, nobody would bat an eye if he got rightfully punished, they even would demand it. If you apply the same standards to a women it suddenly becomes a political and moral issue and how dare you take away there freedom to take a life.
Equating your own kind, even literal own flesh and blood to other animals to justify there killing surely can only mean we live in great times.
Ironically, the Old Testament - which a lot of these folks admire in various ways - God was perfectly comfortable killing babies as long as they were the wrong kind of babies.
Mark the accounts as kids account, they will not collect data till the birthday on the account turns 18. Pick any recent month and 2025 and you get 17+yrs of minimal data collection. They won't turn it on for new data sharing options.
Honestly, it's border line impossible for common mortals, I can't opt out from certain marketing initiatives because I don't have the marketing ID? (with no indication on how to retrieve it) I live in Washington, USA.
