To answer to your question, no, most people don't. And at any case, showing a screen like that is far too late in the process. If the user has decided to install Instagram, then showing them a screen like this won't do a thing. Their mind is already made. If we want online privacy to really matter, then the question of online privacy needs to be solved higher up in political policy level in form of regulations as well as lower level in form of awareness and education. It can't be left to be done in app installation screen by individual end-users.
Good on you for being privacy conscious though.
Well i think education is the cay because if people have freedom to chose than we dont strictly need any regulations about that, exscept those that say you have to mention what will you do with data in agreement papers.
There is so much good open source software today that people should realy be more aware about what open source actualy means and why privacy is so important..
And about this screen, whenever i see interesting game on app store i check this page and refuse to install it if it looks like this.
And when i search for an app i refuse to install app like this and search further until i find app for same purpose but without data colection.
Thats why i more like to see small price on app than to see it free. Because its more likly payed app will have no data colected banner. :)
And i think thats a win win situacion both for developers and us.
That isn’t the app installation screen. It’s the store page. Where else would you show it? Telepathically to the user as soon as they think of the app?
Or maybe we shouldn't be allowing data collection and surveillance in the first place.
The website you use right now literally wouldn’t function without “data collection”.
Tell me, what data does Beehaw sell to the brokers?
Nobody said anything about selling data. You said data collection. And the fediverse is literally entirely public, so beehaw doesn’t have to do anything for your activity here to be tracked across numerous locations.
Yeah bud, very topical
