Errors are dystopian?
The inability to disable a tracking feature due to an error is dystopian.
Isn’t 500 a http error?
A misconfigured server isn’t really dystopian.
Intentionally misconfigured to guarantee a malicious default setting is dystopian.
A temporary server error while trying to save settings to a server is not dystopian
Nah
Seems it to me. Users are defaulted to location tracking without consent, which is fucked up in and of itself, and the system doesn't work when trying to turn it off? I get that it's probably a one-off, but something tells me the corporation cares more about keeping their data collection system functional more than they care about the opt out feature.
