@beehaw.orgI made a post about this nearly a year ago. It's unfortunate that this still persists here.
Forgive me for the pessimism, but I sincerely doubt that they honour any opt-outs. Meta has shown time and time again that they'd rather just pay fines as business expenses instead of abiding by law(s).
Goddamn, I wish we could act like our own independent country for once instead of just puppeting whatever the US does.
Microsoft has so many spinning plates up in the air right now and they have no idea how to handle them all. Eventually they're all going to come crashing down and smash on the floor and it's not going to be pretty.
This is a big problem with all sorts of disposal methods. It's the reason I see so much stuff thrown out when it should be recycled or dumped in bushes or forests. If you want someone to do the right thing then you can't make them drive across a damn city and/or charge them a disposal fee when they attempt to get rid of it. It sucks seeing mattresses dumped on the side of the road or on quiet hiking trails, but I know the reason they're there is because getting rid of one properly is like $50-$75 which is goddamn absurd.
