Why does the ABC News site now hassle me every day about logging in? Logging in to read the news is an awful idea, it's an open invitation to the site to keep me in my bubble. I don't want my news customised, and for that matter I dont want anyone else's news customised either.
We are told over and over that if you're not paying, you're the product. This seems more and more true of even the ABC. I do not want to be the product of our national broadcaster, I do not want the national broadcaster to gather data on me, I do not want to be involved in yet another data breach.
So far I can refuse to login. Logging in was optional to iview as well, at first. But the national broadcaster that is paid for by my tax dollars insists on trying to track me.
I do not accept. I will never accept. I do not want a national broadcaster like this, and I do not want to fund a national broadcaster like this. If it is paid for with tax dollars it should not be paid for by data harvesting as well.
