Thanks. I just went and disabled it. I also found that they had “products and services notifications” turned on. I know I attempted to disable all advertising and monitoring stuff shortly after I signed up, but I can’t say for sure whether I had missed this section at that time or if they kindly turned it on for me between then and now.

Or they added a new setting and left it on by default without telling you. I’ve seen this happen with a few sites before

I still don’t even see the things they’re talking about. Wonder if they’re rolling it out in groups.

Are you logged in? It appears you can go to the privacy settings page and set some (not all) settings without being logged in.

I am logged in. I checked the first time this was pointed out and couldn’t see it then, either.

Like, a law to enforce adoption of encrypted and privacy respecting communication protocols? Restoring end to end principle on the Internet?
