Tumblr tried to sneak in data collection under the radar. After a few taps, you can get a list of who they're sharing data with.

The list takes 19 screenshots to see all the names on my phone.

Also worth mentioning a very nice (no) dark pattern. The last name in the list is always behind the gradient block, which means you can never untick it.

That's Oath, the new owners.

Go read they shitty website in which they try to justify their invasion of your privacy, and also minimize the rights you have to control that data: oath.com/en-gb/my-data/

@skiant I've basically stopped using any "Oath" websites now, and I rely on that giant pop-up as a cue to tell me that's what the site relies on.

Also clicking on this link in Chrome on Android messed with my back button, because tapping it brought me back to the previous section heading instead of letting me dismiss the page and return to Tusky, so I had to keep tapping it until it returned to the top of the page 🤦‍♂️
