at first I read that one header as “We’re Not Changing”
“Even if they are not linked, services can still share data” Isn’t that the whole point!?
In theory, they can’t share ad targeting data. That said, with the DMA they should not be able to share “data to effectively make you able to complete tasks”, that’s the point. Interoperability between Gmail and YouTube should equal the interoperability between Gmail and Peertube or somesuch.
Does that mean i can use a different email?
Protonmail for example
EU, aka the illusion of changes to make good impression while catching 🤝US dollars at the EU parliment
Least cynical american.
Cool, so its either: do YOU want to use shared data across your accounts as well, or only us (google)?
The loopholes are ridiculous, not to mention that they are obviously going to just break everything for you if you don’t comply anyway, but there’s so many things they could do to throw sand in the gears- what matters is that the EU is doing something, it’s reacting, it’s trying to fight it and keep our common European values and not let foreign corporate empires dictate how things are done here, futile as the prospect may seem.
Remember! YOU are in control.
Your profile pic put your comment in the right light.
An efficient solution would to just stop using Google’s services all together. That way they can’t spy on you so easily and make a profile from your internet habits.
There are plenty of alternatives to Google services in the opensource realm.
De-googling is not a simple task, it takes actual man-hours of proper work to be done, especially when we’re talking decades of accounts et c. Even when and if that gets done, what are you going to do about Android? And even if you sort that out, there are a hundred other digital ware that would need the same treatment.
At some point the task becomes insurmountable, it seems, not to mention you already need to have a solid technical background to have a chance of pulling it off.
I would love some suggestions if you have them, but frankly I am getting too old for this shit, I’ve fought it all my life but I’m just the one person and my time is limited you know what I’m sayin.

I do not understand the downvotes. Accessability is inclusiveness.
Lemmy’s kinda shit on the alt-text front, too. The Mastodon/ActivityPub community is far better about this.
Dude I’m just a drunk gal with an internet connection, you would not believe the things that slip my mind on a daily basis.
I am always respectful and try to mind, but I’m not exactly omniscient either, I can barely hold my life together know what I mean? So sorry for no subtitles, but there are tons of super cool people here who do it voluntarily so that everyone can enjoy the knowledge of how deeply we are being spied on by Google. And our fight against it!
It’s not an indictment of you, it’s an indictment of Lemmy. AP has alt-text in the format. AP clients - almost uniformly - have space for alt text whanever pictures are posted, and the best of the remind and encourage you to add alt text when you post pictures. Lemmy provides no facility for alt-text; for a platform developed in this century and largely populated by inclusive liberals, it’s a rather shocking omission.
My bad, sorry for the oversight. No pun intended.
Good. The more people realize is being spied on, the better.
Yay no seperate accounts anymore. Like, as if it is hard to create a Google Account…
Does Google allow de-linking between accounts that were linked previously, then? I’ve seen people holding into a Google account just because it’s keeping hostage other accounts they actually care about.
The next thing we need to outlaw is this marketing bs.
They are asking if you want to link services so they can share data. In the bottom bit they say they’re gonna share anyway for „other reasons“.
Same as with banking services, I want to see how much money they will make from selling my data.
where is this
The EU.
what website dummy, you freedom unit user.
He heh, sorry, I couldn’t help myself. :)
To answer you, I think I just went to YouTube and this popped up.
im using revanced and nothing happens even if i try yo use the official YouTube app i still cannot get this
If the thing that’s shared is sso then I’m fine with that, but I would also not mind having 3+ accounts if it meant less tracking
Si señor?
