You are being coerced into giving up your personal data
Sure, you can reject an app or platform’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Terms & Conditions, However, what other app or platform can you replace it with that has terms that are more suitable?
I used to be one of those people that would advocate that people should read the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions of every app and platform they decide to use. This was mainly because, deep inside those legal agreements (yes, they are legal agreements as you have to opt-in and give consent) are some clauses that violate your privacy and give the company in charge the green light to abuse the data they collect on you.
I have since stopped encouraging people to read them. Not because they shouldn’t read them, but because I have come to realise it is somewhat futile.
