Made well, if one may say ... maybe to mid-level public servants not clear on ‘private citizen’ concepts. Regards, S -----Original Message----- From: Karl Auer <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, 30 May 2021 7:30 PM To: ABC Privacy <[email protected]> Subject: Privacy-hostile account requirement for iView - why? Hullo My ABC I do not understand why you are introducing a privacy-hostile policy requiring all ABC iView users to have accounts. For people who want the benefits of an account, such as customised programming or whatever, accounts are a great idea. But that can be achieved entirely and effectively through opt-in. There is no technical need to impose an account requirement on everybody. Forcing everyone to have an account, whether they want one or not, rather suggests that there are benefits to YOU, about which you have not informed us. Which leads to the uncomfortable suspicion that the benefits to you are not things we, your viewers, would want you to have, if we knew about them. Please: Make the account system opt-in. Or make public ALL the reasons why you will not or cannot do so. Right now, you seem to be working hard on destroying your status as one of the most trusted institutions in our country. Thank you Karl Auer. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
