The challenge is that Plex,inc doesn’t know what the definition of “opt-in” is. Plex,inc continually lies to us paying users on that front so I’m not optimistic at all. Plex,inc has a corporate goal of using dark patterns to trick paying users into sharing private information, this point is not in dispute.

Plex,inc thinks that blindly clicking yes throughout the setup process is opt-in.

Remember how plex opted you into sharing your viewing history with all your friends by surprise? Especially concerning with how is Keith from in the bay area and him knowing this is a safety issue to certain demographics?

Also remember when Plex,inc had to switch to the corporate account to lie to us (post is still up to this day), because if a FTE posted it, perhaps that would open up FTEs personally to litigation?

I did get somewhere with the EU GDPR commissioner’s office, hopefully testing the strength of the Plex D&O insurance due to Plex,inc’s lying to us paying users and the max fine is levied.

I don’t expect Kevin to acknowledge this. Every Plex,inc FTE has abandoned the threads, I would say on a demand from Keith or Jason or even general counsel. But us paying users need to remember that Plex,inc is still lying to us about what plex,inc thinks opt-in means.
