Open Terms Archive<p>Did you rely on the “<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DoNotTrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DoNotTrack</span></a>” setting on your phone? Since July 18th, Instagram removed the option for users to opt out of online personalised ads through their mobile device settings. Now, you can only do so through the “Digital Advertising Alliance” and not anymore directly from your phone. <br><a href="https://opentermsarchive.org/en/memos/instagram-removes-tracking-optout-in-mobile-device-options/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">opentermsarchive.org/en/memos/</span><span class="invisible">instagram-removes-tracking-optout-in-mobile-device-options/</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TermsSpotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TermsSpotting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
