feels like you can’t even exist anymore without all your data getting leaked by someone who aggressively must consume as much of it as possible.

Hulu you can say, “well at least I can pirate and avoid giving my info up.” But what can you do against things like when Equifax was hacked?

There needs to be real privacy reform and real data privacy laws in the USA. bullshit ass second-tier country

Agreed the credit agency breaches are especially fucked since you don’t even have a say or not in participating.

Then they make you PAY to freeze your account. It’s fucking racket.

You either die the hero, or live long enough to become the villain. Roku is definitely in full villain stage.

TBF the report says this was done using credential stuffing, so it wasn’t really Roku’s fault.

It wasn’t forced. You could opt out.

The agreement that was a pop-up you could only accept?

My dog answered that before I got a look at it. Is that legally binding?

Sure that argument is fine and all, but you could also just mail them a letter.

Both approaches are moot because you and I don’t have the money or time to fight a huge enterprise or to bride lobby government officials.

By sending a physical mail to their office, if what I’ve heard on smashing security is correct.

Not just physical mail. The letter had to have the serial numbers of all devices associated with your account.

Sure, let me go digging behind my TV with all of my free time so that I can give you information you already have, dicks.

Correct. Are you unfamiliar with stamps and paper? Sure it’s dumb and unfair that they force such a thing, but it takes 10 mins instead of 10 seconds. They’re not requiring hand delivery.

Man I can’t remember off hand. I know LG has been doing that shit.

I got an email in the last week from either PayPal or Comcast with regards to arbitration. I threw it away.

Edit Found it, it was Hulu
