Venmo Considers Making it Harder to See What Other People Are Buying, Report Says (bloomberg.com)
Tap on the Venmo app on your phone, and chances are you'll greeted with a running list of payments made from one person to another for anything from brunch bills to rent payments. But the real-time ticker of strangers' spending habits could soon go away. From a report: In recent weeks, executives at PayPal, the parent company of Venmo, were weighing whether to remove the option to post and view public transactions, said a person familiar with the deliberations. It's unclear if those discussions are still ongoing, and regardless of the outcome, payments between friends would still be visible on the home feed, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. "Venmo is always evaluating what's best for our customers," a PayPal spokesman wrote in an emailed statement. "The safety and privacy of Venmo users and their information is always a top priority, and we do a number of things to keep our users informed and help them protect and control their privacy."
Even though we ignore the fine print, we do value our privacy and find target advertising creepy. All basic questions executives should ask, how woukd I feel if....
...is retarded. And that's probably offensive to people with learning disabilities, because they wouldn't be stupid enough to come up with a business model where everyone sees all your transactions.
You're posting to a comment thread about Venmo.
You can follow him. Try not to let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Better a leftist "SJW" "POS" than a rightist authoritarian ass. I wear your insult as a badge of honor, son.
Let's make it a threesome, you arrogant piece of shit. It's not like you contribute a damn thing to this site. We'll all leave together and never post again. Deal?
And yet both of your posts in this story have been totally off-topic. What exactly have you contributed to this discussion? That's not a rhetorical question; I'm looking for an answer from you.
No slashdot in Federal prison, Trumpies. You're going to need a more crooked judge than Ellis, lol.
Implying that SJWs aren't authoritarians. LOL
Few SJW's ever get in a position of power to be authoritarian, so that's kinda antithetical. If they did they'd right the injustice and... be out of a job? Think harder alt-brainfighters, lol. Your victimstance is unfounded kiddo.
I don't see an option to mandate receiving only "private" payments and to block "public" payments, but I was able to set payments I send to "private" by default in the privacy settings, and that change made the service somewhat less annoying.
I wish that "private" would be the default payment setting upon first installing the app, but then they would lose what sets them apart from similar services.
Shitting on white people isn't righting the injustice. It's causing more injustice. We are rapidly approaching a state of affairs where the far right is more likely to correct systemic injustice against oppressed minorities than the far left because the far left is more interested in getting back at Whitey than it is at actually helping anyone.
You're so full of nazi cock you open your mouth and Putin's wad comes flying out, seriously get tested for Nazi AIDS you dumb faggot redneck scumbag lol. We're going to hang you for being NAZI SCUM,
not because you're a dumb white hoe, that's perfectly normal and everyone deals with it. NAZI SCUM has to HANG. Get it straight, Adolf. Alt-reichtards will be murdered one by one or en masse, you choose.
I didn't know this weird Venmo thing belonged to Paypal, but now I'm really left wanting to not ever use Paypal for anything.
I might still use it on ebay if I need something there and there's no other option.
Impersonating me? Please - Grow up, get on topic & quit being such a JEALOUS "Lil' Jowie" waste of LIFE "ne'er-do-well" (for your sake).
APK
P.S.=> Unbelievable... apk
No, no it's not. All authoritarians are shit, including you.
Don't default the payment to be public. You have to explicitly set to private by default. Just a thought.
