Get a VPN and delete your cookies, Australia’s privacy laws are still lagging behind
Good advice, regardless of what country you’re in or what the privacy laws are.
I don’t understand why we don’t just basically copy the GDPR laws, unless… Unless our government doesn’t actually care about privacy at all.
I mean I can understand that entirely new laws will lead to minimal compliance from overseas organisations, but if it is just GDPR based then most mainstream websites and organisations will already be capable of compliance.
Surprised Pikachu.
After all, this is a country where border officers are legally permitted to search and store any data from your phone or laptop.
Cookies never last a day in our house. We’re safe.
All you guys are gonna lose your shit when you find out that the big data companies don’t need to use cookies to track you, and haven’t for a while.

Read the headline. The rest is waffle. One up on ABC articles.
Nooooo… it sounds like Russia !
No mention of the Reddit app though, which also takes control of your data. This place is just as bad!
As I understand GDPR, it doesn’t matter if you’re not in the EU. If they want to operate in the EU it’s total compliance worldwide, or they’re not considered compliant.
Right? Want to reduce implementation cost and confusion? Adopt something that a bunch of other countries have.
Is it perfect? No. Is it better than what we’d end up with after 10billion dollars spent trying to figure it out? Obviously.
Oh, sorry, I forgot it’s not backed by American interests, nevermind.
Do people actually use the app? Old Reddit is much easier to use, and has no ads, at least with Adblock installed.
I use the regular website on mobile, I can block most stuff. Since they started charging for the API it meant the great apps vanished.

You can sideload the modified ones.
https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/16naxdo/how_to_install_apollo_via_altstore/
you can use sideloadly, sidestore (which is altstore forked for your own repo), or appdb if you use your own apple developers certificate.
note - free accounts sign for 7days and require renewal every week, developer accounts sign for one year.
I’ll look at this. Thanks.
