If you hit “next”, the consent window opens again and if you refuse any of them, you get put back at this screen so you’re stuck in a loop.
This shitty practice is even endorsed by Google, as they are promoting this game to try out and earn points.
Edit: game is called Jewel Gold Empire: Match 3 and it’s from some Korean company it seems: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.penta.empire.google
Obviously I uninstalled it immediately after
This goes against the GDPR.
There is no GDPR outside of EU.
So they don’t sell in EU? Or disable the dialogue only there?
That’s what it looks like inside EU:
Only one option to agree to the user agreement and data usage. When you decline, the app just closes instantly
Which speak to the bigger problem of why don’t we have this globally? Why hasn’t the US had the legislative balls to implement and enforce an equivalent law? For a culture that is so paranoid about personal information, it’s just such a massive mental gap.
Because the US is effectively an oligarchy run by billionaires. Why would they do something that would provide them with less money and power?
They are paranoid about foreign actors having personal data, not domestic ones. That said, the whole TikTok thing is as much about stifling international competition as it is about data privacy and who is getting/using said data. Meta, Alphabet, and their ilk all harvest much more data than TikTok, and sell it to data brokers. There is absolutely nothing stopping the Chinese government from just buying the data they would obtain from the mandatory data sharing forced upon Chinese companies.
TikTok took market share from Meta and Alphabet, Suckerberg and whoever is the head letter at Alphabet called up the Congressmen they bought and started making a fuss, so their boys on the hill found excuses to ban it.
I am not sayinf some of the excuses do not have kernels of merit, but they are largely overshadowed by the anticompetitive effect that it has.
Just to expand and answer your larger question, the US government does not respect the privacy of the citizens. The anti-data-brokerage legislation we did manage to get through only occurred AFTER the harvested data was used against those in office, and even then it was made an opt-out legislation which requires us to contact each brokerage firm individually and request, in writing, that our data be purged and we not be tracked. That exempts all new firms from the restrictions and relies on the individual to A. Know how to find the firms and B. Be able to manage contacting each one of them. What this has done is invented an entirely new service industry for removing OUR information from these brokerage firms. So we have to pay for privacy, yet again, making it something really reserved for the rich.
If you look at the other laws, things like license law and such, you will find that the US government has quite truly conspired to make sure that corporations have carte blanch to do whatever they want with those who use their services.
