I expected this flow to continue, but looks like that was it. I decided to stop here and not "Accept with changes". There was NO chance to opt-out of the facial recognition program:
Choosing "Change my face recognition settings", the send button is still disabled, but I get this very helpful link to "also edit your face recognition settings", the link points to "https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=facerec", but actually takes me back to my "General Account Settings":
As far as I can understand, there is no way to change face recognition settings in the flow I received from the A/B testing gods. Might have something to do with me not agreeing to the changes in the first modal.
In Estonia(within Europe) we have this awesome "investment account" system where you make a separate bank account and the tax system is simplified for that account.
Any money you put in, can be taken out without paying any taxes.
Once you've taken out more than you paid in, you just pay income tax and that's it.
You report your "paid in" and "paid out" sum(to/from that one account) to the tax office yearly.
Really makes the whole process simple and adaptable to any investment model.
I had a coworker who was against moving to python3(and kept on writing python2 code for a while) because you need to use brackets with python3 print statement.
This has changed a bit with GDPR coming into force soon.
When google tried to go push '+' they needed the people to forget about the data, messages, pictures and everything else that was on facebook. That burden was a bit too much.
GDPR requires facebook to provide users with their data in a machine readable format. So that competitors could write migration scripts and there would be no such lock-in. Makes it easy to switch platforms and bring some competition into the space.
With difficult discussions being locked and limited to collaborators.
With the main answer to questions being, we can discuss this somewhere else, some-other (unknown) time in the future, usually in a more private setting. Unless pressed further.
Or as carmforce(Ubl) so nicely put it. "our project, our rules" but those rules keep changing, are not public and the raised issue about defining/clearing up those rules is obviously not a priority.
One of the reasons people are angry, is that this type of investigation has been made as hard as possible currently.
Posts are being removed from bugzilla and threads being locked. The code itself comes from a random github repo, not affiliated with mozilla/firefox. (https://github.com/gregglind/addon-wr/)
They also still count against your usage limit, so workflow gets interrupted and you have to wait till they are actually deleted, but you can't really be sure when that happens.
So have a coffee, check back, nope not gone.
Get another one, nope not gone.
then go to facebook.com/messages.
