Ridiculous hoops to jump through to assert privacy rights on most websites

Obviously, most companies have no desire to allow us to assert our privacy rights and wish to make it as difficult as possible to do so. However, it seems like the only thing that they’re able to actually safeguard is the ability to make you jump through as many hoops as possible to assert these rights.

For one website, you have to in order:

1. Be given the privacy agreement upon sign up and agree to it before you can change anything
2. Know where to look within the privacy agreement itself to see which privacy options are available to you, using California as the template and the CCPA, generally they’re listed

but difficult to suss out from the massive walls of texts, or if mobile are actively difficult to view

1. Either send an email with the explicit rights that you wish to Ass served, which can be up to seven or eight depending on whether you want them to send you a list of their actions and knowledge based on you that they’ve already collected
2. Request them for beat them as they are legally written or they will not in good faith process them.

something or don’t have the attention span

1. Often times there will be multiple requests under multiple messages that require a new one time use code just to view.

I know the goal is to frustrate, infuriate, and make it practically difficult to a certain privacy rights, but come on why can’t they utilize any of the security measures for their actual website websites which get broken into every day and causes undo grief and they never get punished for any of this.

Apologies for the rant, I’m talking to my phone right now.

What disgusting things do companies do to sort your attempts to assert your rights?
