That is some privacy policy

found on Dump A Day

Even though there isn't a lot of privacy in a public restroom, there are still lines we shouldn't be crossing. I'm sure we can all imagine how this policy actually came about. It may go above and beyond violating what we commonly think of as the unwritten rules of public urinals, but the sign is specific enough to tell us what happened and how it was received, even if we've never witnessed it ourselves.

At least they're being transparent about it

found on Reddit

Sometimes you have to wonder about the so-called privacy policies that companies are always updating. Do they even deserve to be called that?

Everybody logs... sometimes

from here

This should be a lesson for everyone - promises about not logging IP addresses cannot be relied on. Every legitimate service has authorities it has to answer to, and sometimes those authorities demand that the service start collecting logs. If you want to be private, you need more than just a promises.

Who needs the news when you can read privacy policies?

from here

577 companies is a ludicrous number of companies to share data with, and basically impossible for end users to manage. It's basically DDoSing their ability to formulate informed consent. Did the framers of the GDPR consider their goals could be subverted through brute force?

The policy is a lie

from here

When the same department that likely wrote Facebook's privacy policy argues users have no reasonable expectation of privacy, it's hard not to imagine some kind of shenanigans are going on. Is it a self-own? Are they painting themselves into a corner by admitting (or at least implying) fraud? I sure hope the plaintiffs in the case capitalize on this, because I think it would be hilarious to catch Facebook's lawyers with their pants down.
