Continuing the discussion from Discover Together: Public Release: [image] Discover Together: Public Release Discover Together is Opt In … As noted on the page, everyone’s privacy settings are PRIVATE at the time this page is viewed. If you save the choice on that page without changing anything…

I agree that there is a difference between information being collected by Plex (as a business entity) for their purposes and information being collected by the Plex server being run by a ‘admin’. However, I wouldn’t agree that the sharing of information with ‘admins’ is explicit to users. I know fro…

Somehow this whole topic just makes it obvious how very transparent PLEX user’s data has become through the years. It gets collected and can be pulled at any time. Scary. Off topic a bit: I got into PLEX many years ago, because I wanted to stream my own media to my devices. I don’t need to have a …

[image] Insomnic_1: Not really speaking at you directly here, but lots of admins don’t share content and might have the same question and might not be familiar with how significant of a change this is for those who do share content. Since you’ve stated you don’t have any sharing functions enable…

No they didn’t need to, but they clearly wanted to and seemed to hit the nail on the head while doing so

The correct thing for Plex to do at this point is to apologise, disable this feature for everyone, redesign the onboarding “opt-in” flow so that it’s actually opt-in and follows all relevant laws, and show the onboarding flow to everyone again. The people that actually want to use the feature can th…

It’s really obvious Plex saw this as a way to get more engagement and therefore more revenue. This was purposeful. It tells you a lot about their commitment to privacy. $$$ are more important. To them.

Everyone’s accounts need to be retroactively set to private at this point (opted out by default). There’s so many users out there, especially less tech savvy ones, that have no idea that they need to go and opt out of these items now that they’ve accidentally opted in by a very confusing launch page…

Just wanted to chime in that a friend just sent me a screenshot of my watch history being shared, which I absolutely didn’t “opt-in” to do. This is really, really gross on Plex’s part. Even more so that they appear to be doubling down and claiming that pre-changing a user’s privacy setting is “opt-i…

Just received an email from Plex with « trends » regarding an ex-colleague NAS all because we have shared our libraries 7 years ago. I don’t even talk to this guy anymore. They are « embarrassing » movies in this mail. Does he knows that ? Does he have mails regarding MY watchlist/trends/what I’ve…
