Privacy, user control and consent means nothing to these companies.
More new ways to spy on us. Nothing is a good brand, but this is wrong. ( •_•)
@Mattr @Toasted_Breakfast They're trying some things like lock-screen ads on some models too. Turned "off" by default (for now). But their Phone (3) isn't getting that, if i understand correctly. Just the (a) models.
With ongoing enshittification in the quest for the lowest common denominator, why it might as well be mandatory to keep a 3310.
Is there atleast roms?
This is one of the main reasons I don't run Android, the bloatware that comes with the phone that can’t be removed without root.

Not that it isn't scummy, but the screenshots in the article show that the Facebook app can be uninstalled, and the "Meta Services" app can be disabled. So it's not the end of the world.

Wow, nothing is a shit name, for one. On the other hand, this being reported on a website that requires tracking consent to view. I want a new Timeline.
What do you mean? There are tons of shit names.
Of course there are. But in this case the headline could be read:
Nothing's new:....

Welp, and some people hypothesized Nothing would be the secret manufacturer that GrapheneOS works with. Hope not, I'm not sure what Nothing would get out of it with these kinds of actions.
Ratchet mechanism of enshittification: click
I once had a phone with uninstallable Facebook bullshit and it is more than mildly infuriating. Fuck Nothing, they are dead to me now. This is unforgivable.
Just what the world needed
How much does a phone manufacturer get when they do these pre-inatalled app deals?
Apparently enough to destroy the reputation over it.
To me I'm most supprised on this one, I mean, wasn't the whole point of the nothing to be a phone that doesn't distract you as much, lets you stay in the moment.
what the hell kind of partnership is this. This is as dumb as say an electric vehicle company partnering up with climate change deniers

Probably more than what they get from selling it. That’s similar to why sports are all hands on deck with gambling now and they don’t give a shit about the fans at all
So I've been holding onto my OnePlus 6T because it was the closest thing to a Nexus after they destroyed it and migrated it into the Pixel program.
I've been eyeballing Nothing for a while now, but it looks like before I could even get one, they're already off the market for me.
So, the Nothing 3a, AKA The Something.
The problem with Meta (also russian Yandex) is that it was caught having web-side trackers that send stuff to localhost, where it gets caught by Meta apps and then sent to Zucker servers. This two-bit scheme was noticed by researchers and isn't there anymore, but it is a clear display why having these apps preinstalled is a problem. Regular ads are better than Mark looking over your shoulder whenever his meta pixel triggers.

Nothing's new.
FTFY
Bummer, I thought nothing was a good brand.
Yes, nothing is a good a brand, including Nothing
Fairphone?
So far so good.
Nothing says 'I'm shitty' more than naming yourself 'Nothing'. Oh, wait, using meta/facebook makes you even shittier.
