delirium 4,237 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I was loggin into Tumblr and suddenly (maybe because of the internet software I was using) I was redirected to the privacy policy page where I was informed that Tumblr wanted to share my info. So, pretty much everyone knows that your ip is tracked no matter where you go unless you have it blocked or scrambled but I was curious to see which sites Tumblr was sharing my data with, so I clicked the "show" link. I thought it was going to be about 10 sites. Tumblr has a freaking list spanning the length of the Great bloody Wall of China - this list goes all the way down to Z. Eventually I got lazy and stopped copying because the page just kept going. That scroll bar is far from the bottom. It's kind of funny they make it seem like you have to agree to sharing your info to access the site but you don't, hence why all of these are grey. (If you allow access, the button on the far right would be blue instead of grey). And this is just one site. They call them "trusted partners" but it's just another way of saying: Ads. Ps: "safe mode" is actually a good thing. I can never unsee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUO 3,660 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 They sell your account infos to companies so you can get targeted ads and when it comes to facebook or snapchat they have access to much more of your personal informations recently the European union has decided to put suctions on websites/apps that uses infos or spy on users living within the UN territories so you've probably noticed that a lot of social media sites had updated their policy and gave you a notice about it.

Zhan Rui Sanda 1,576 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 That's why I deleted all my Facebook, Insta, Tumblr and whatever accounts. Now I only have Twitter, Gmail, Disquss, OH, Reddit, Telegram... Gosh, it's still too much!!! I have to delete more, I think I will start from deleting Gmail account.

Ego ista 1,344 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Dunno, don’t care I’m not tech savvy enough to delete my info off the net so I’m just not gonna care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tousle 1,178 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Shite. I think I’ve clicked the ok button without much thought when tumblr introduced the updated privacy setting. In my settings > privacy page there’s only two options that I can manage? Then there’s a block of blank space below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli London 1,762 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 No. But I do try to limit my info about myself on the internet, especially stuff I don't choose to share, like my address and full name. Basically if you know my full name, you could find out where I live and stalk me or worse~ yay........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
