How do I turn this off? I DONT Want people knowing what I watch and I DONT want to know what they watch. I don’t want this information collected and I DON’T want plex doing this. I hate this on every level. Please tell me I can turn it and the collection of my data that this requires off?

I already got a response. I am encouraging everyone to utilize the resources of their respective governments. The more eyes we put on this the more pressure builds on so that idiotic moves such as this become a thing of the past.

I understand they don’t know where I watched it, but they know I watched it and broadcasted it to a group of people who have no business knowing, after Plex reset my settings to record and track this data ventrally vs just watch history on my private server. It should have been defaulted to off and …

[image] Selicos: So there is apparently no recourse or method to delete this data which may be illegal in some states/countries. As Plex toggled this on and stored the data without my consent/knowledge, they better be working on a delete option or I’m going to invert and spend the next decade ma…

All the notification/sharing settings were either defaulted to on or reset for my account. When I saw the email about friend content I was confused; as far as I was aware this data was NOT synced with Plex central or broadcast before. So I went looking here and on Reddit for what had changed. I che…

As I said earlier, my message doesn’t support either side. But to say that they collect information without your knowledge is factually wrong because you agreed to the terms of the links I sent when you signed up. It’s in French, but that said: “By creating an account or continuing to use any Ple…

Good heavens this was a colossally misguided feature roll-out. Collecting everyone’s watch history and defaulting to broadcasting that to everyone else was about as boneheaded of a mistake as I could possibly imagine. You don’t just turn something like that on without informing a user and making s…

This feature, defaulted to be enabled and to leak my information is an unforgiveable violation of trust. I’ve deleted my account and I will not be back. Get wrecked plex.

Good god Plex, what are you doing. This is such a colossal f*** up and is completely unacceptable behavior for any software company. Your Product Managers (or whoever made this bone-headed decision) should be embarrassed. All of this nonsense feature bloat is ruining what was a great platform. The …

How can you possibly think this would be a googd idea to just implement it and auto ACTIVATE it!? Are you borderline crazy? Change it to disable by default and NEVER do something like that again! And best idea would be to fire the persons who were involved in this lunacy, or at least give them pro…

This is a tone deaf delivery of this service and not in line with why i originally loved plex. There is no redeeming value in my eyes. If it’s not removed (opt-in isn’t enough) i feel my 10yr love of plex is over.
