    Nearly every time I open Facebook Messenger - sometimes 5+ times a day - it asks me again if I wouldn’t like to share all of my contacts & turn on notifications. This is waiting for me to press a wrong button, not consent-seeking.pic.twitter.com/TH4aalAmxe

        Haven’t tested yet but I *believe* if you press okay and then press “Don’t Allow” to the actual following system dialog, it will never be allowed to prompt again. I believe those are priming prompts not real system TCC prompts.

        Saying no to the priming prompts won’t do anything. Saying yes to the priming prompt and then no to the system prompt will prevent them from being able to pop the system prompt in the future and will possibly make the priming prompts go away too. (Haven’t tested yet.)

        Facebook wants you for your contacts. They want you to consent to access to your contacts so they can use them for targeted ads as well. You're only useful to Facebook if you upload your contacts. Palantir and Zuckerberg designed it that way from inception.pic.twitter.com/zb33TpB6VK

        Simple fix, delete messenger and never put it back. ;-) I use FB on Chrome on iOS when I need to tell someone to contact me some other way.

        This flow is garbage, but the fact that you're seeing it repeatedly is certainly a bug. Reinstalling would probably fix it.

        I still can't believe that ANYONE would install Facebook messenger. The amount of privacy invasion is absolutely insane! Always log in via browser's w/extension's. If you still use FB Messenger, seriously question... Why!?!?

        This is the kind of thing that the EU's GDPR prevents; if you were in Europe you wouldn't be getting this treatment, I don't think.

        Sadly, here in Europe we have the same problems, althoug Star's problem seem a bug to me. GDPR doesn't prevent apps to be annoying, it only prevents Companies to use your personal data without punishment. On the contrary websites are asking again and again if they can use cookies

        Funnily enough, they'd have to set a cookie to say you opted out of cookies. I suspect that's fine in GDPR parlance, but I imagine these site owners are too paranoid to risk it.

        Well GDPR allow to store mandatory datas, so yeah, they *can* use a cookie for cookie preferences

        I was thinking more of their requirement that an opt in be truly optional, and not coercive.

        This doesn't work on mobile :-(. If you go to http://messenger.com  on mobile it will keep asking you to open the app, even if you don't want to!

        It redirects you to http://messenger.com  when you click the "messages" link. Go give it a shot.
