My solution is to use standard industry practices while supporting non profits and politics that improve the overall ecosystem.
It's what adults do. But I guess attacking strangers on the internet is where true class comes from?
> We're not doing that jointly buddy. You are the one doing it and you only get away with it by trying to hide it as you mentioned just above.
The only reason I'm doing it is because it's industry standard practice and it works. You can't bring a knife to a gun fight. Acting like that can happen just shows me you aren't well engaged with the real world. Insinuating my small business clients should not segment email audiences while their competitors do it is just unrealistic and disconnected from how the world operates.
Real world people who actually care about privacy and not grandstanding or throwing rocks in an effort to virtue signal... they actually sign up at EPIC and EFF and contact senators and congressman about specific privacy legislation. At least that's what I do to improve the situation. What do you do that I should be doing to improve our situation in relationship to privacy?
So you do acknowledge that it is creepy and undesired, and your solution instead of not doing it is just to not mention it but do it anyway. Classy.
> To blame a small business owner producing quality widgets and their marketing guys for the society we create jointly is immature at best.
We're not doing that jointly buddy. You are the one doing it and you only get away with it by trying to hide it as you mentioned just above.
