Hannibal texted Will, walking hurried and upset to his class.
“It’s just an assignment.”
“A long one,” the reply came immediately.
“He’s my classmate, there’s nothing I can do to avoid him.” Hannibal felt an unusual pain in his chest, more worried than angry. He kept asking himself what Will’s real feelings for him were, the doubt scouring his brain for answers.
“Why you didn’t tell me?” Will was already crying, silently sobbing his fear to avoid being noticed, his scent slowly changing with the distress that flowed through his veins.
“I never thought you would feel like this, I thought this was something stronger than that.”
Tumblr’s at it again, thanks to the new European Privacy Laws. There’s probably nobody who will read this, but it pissed me off so much that I decided to make a post about it. (Ignore the weird language mish-mash, depending on your country the language might differ.)
OK, so many of us get this screen when we try to access our dash:
Realise how the ‘OK’ button is a nice, attention-grabbing blue? If you’re like me, you’re not exactly into reading a 100 pages document and tend to just click it.
My tip? DONT. Instead click on ‘Manage Options’ right next to it:
Now you’ll see this page:
Still pretty harmless, right? That ‘Accept’ button is looking really attractive right now. Instead, click on Verwalten (Probably something like ‘Manage Options’ or something in english) and you’ll get to this page:
Now that’s not too bad, right? I just switched all the buttons to ‘off’, because I’m jealously guarding my personal information and don’t want Tumblr to go off and do who knows what with it. Looks like we’re done! But wait: There’s a SHOW option.
When we click on that one, what we will get is this:
A HUGE list with OVER 300 ENTRIES of companies that can use your data by default if you’d just clicked ‘OK’ on that very first page. Coincidence that this list is hidden that much? Me thinks not. They’re all switched on by default, but I am still a petty bitch that doesn’t want to give out her data, so I switched them all off. All 300+ of them. There is no option to switch them all off at once, and even if you disable all the options above, the companies are still switched on.
(If you wonder how i got that number, I copied the list into excel and looked at the cell number. No way am I actually counting all those entries)
I too, am a petty bitch who unticked every single one.
I think this stinks -yes I unclicked 100’s of companies
I also unclicked ‘our partners’ for good measure too!
I can’t believe that this information was not asked for previously. Thank you EU !
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) changes how companies and individuals collect, store and share data about us.
And please check that you really undid them all after you clicked the final ok because at first it chganged the settings back when I went to click any other link on my way back.
But I don’t think you have to unclick all 300 of partners because once you unclicked the top five, you make sure that these partners have no access to your data. Or am I wrong here?
Bless you, OP, for this post!
I’m assuming this is not US based? Because I didn’t have anything like this message on my screen.
