I know, right, the fucking balls of Google to fucking say this

[–] ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because they are legally obligated to mention it?

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are they? What law?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Probably GDPR if I had to guess. Seems like anything decent these companies do can be directly traced back to GDPR.

Edit: guys, "probably" means that I'm unsure.

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No GDPR does not require google to display app permissions like that...

Your just making things up.

[–] ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you want the short or the long version?

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

A link to it will do

Show me where I made something up, boss. Or do you not know what "probably" means?

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Do you? Because made up satistics are still made up.

This is how misinformation starts.

If your not sure, google it before commenting. For the sanity of the internet.

No. Maybe don't just take something that someone you've never met on the internet said might be true as fact? Maybe you should fucking Google it.

I mean seriously, the tone of my comment was pretty clear. Do you really need me to explain the connotations of "probably," and "everything good comes from it"?

I make an off hand comment that is clearly not an attempt to be informative, and you come in all aggressive. Chill the fuck out.

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm not saying your doing it intentionally.

Bur it is how it starts.

Edit the person I replied to didn't use probably. Then you came in with a probably statement. That's how miss information starts. People supporting bullshit with "probably"

...except they don't for their own browser.

[–] ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's literally there.
