       1/2[Edit to add screenshot]Does anyone have any inside info on DeleteMe buying PermissionSlipCR from Consumer Reports? I got this email from them about it. https://mailchi.mp/d3ac7cd29c53/ps-deletemeI cancelled my DeleteMe subscription a couple years ago when Consumer Reports started Permission Slip data deletion service. Partially because it was way cheaper ($20 vs. $100+ IIRC) but mostly because DeleteMe filled their site with trackers! FFS! I hassled them on old Twitter about it and then sent them emails asking about it. Never got a single response. So, today I checked and according to TheMarkup.org's Blacklight tool, DeleteMe removed their trackers (except for Cloudflare's browser fingerprinting tracker). Okay, cool. But now Permission Slip has trackers. I hate all of this so much. #privacy #security #DataPrivacy #trackers #DeleteMe #PermissionSlip #GuillotinesForDataBrokers #Guillotine #MoreGuillotines #YetMoreGuillotines #NeverEnoughGuillotines

       2/2My guess is that the whole reason Consumer Reports started a useful, affordable service is to capture market share so they could eventually... wait for it... here it comes......sell us to their biggest competitor who will then squeeze more money and data out of people who have their subs on auto-renew and will not necessarily notice the increase in price or who will be too busy to look into it and find an alternative. I bet we can expect an intensification of the ensittification funnel once the sale is complete and all the cheap Permission Slip subs run out.I hate this so much. If you're not familiar with Blacklight, it's awesome. https://themarkup.org/blacklight #MilkShakeDuck #DataPrivacy #Privacy #FuckAllThis #IAmGoingToLiveInACave
