There is a change. Instead of people engaging with the shitty data harvesting voluntarily due to being unaware it is being forced on everyone including those who are aware.
I can guarantee all the 'opt out' choices are lies and they are harvesting the data anyway.
I've never had a look at the code of a major commercial platform, so I don't really know whether those options do something. But sure. I'm not relying on it too much. I regularly decline and switch everything off. And I hope they at least honor my setting to not sell my data to third parties... But I don't invest a lot of time into this, I don't trust them so I rather avoid giving them too much data in the first place.
I'm curious how they're going to monetize services like ChatGPT. Whether they put ad banners on the website and app, or make the chatbot recommend certain products to you...
