Outlook got updated on my iPhone last night and now they want me to agree to having my data shared with 807 partners.

Important note: I don’t use outlook as my primary email provider. I use Proton with a custom domain but I keep outlook for some old emails.

    What happens if you reject?

    Does outlook stop working?

      Your ads aren’t creepily specific to you anymore

        Great, I love getting all the “looking for single women in your area?” ads instead…

          I find the non-personalized ads to be much more palatable, as they don’t pull on the strings that would normally get my interest. YouTube once had a 6 second beer ad that only included the crack of a can opening (sound) and the view of some mountains. It was actually kind of refreshing, and I didn’t gain interest whatsoever in the product! I don’t drink! I’m all for ads like that, if I have to be abused by an ad.

            Yeah well I’m not too keen on adult nigh-x-rated ads showing up for my kids to see, who are both younger than 5… I’m “okay” with it, myself, but I don’t exactly like it. But I’m furious regarding my kids seeing it.

            Definitely need to get me a pi-hole.
