I don’t use Immich, but want to say that your post here is very detailed and level-headed - and I appreciate it. Giving users more choice over how their data is used is always good.

Yeah, it’s still confusing. It could be that since the ruling was made less than a month ago, there are active ad campaigns that they’re just going to let run their course, rather than cancel them.

But also, note the following from the source article:

Comcast said it may still use 10G in ways that are less likely to confuse consumers. "Consistent with the panel's recommendation... Comcast reserves the right to use the term '10G' or 'Xfinity 10G' in a manner that does not misleadingly describe the Xfinity network itself," the company said.

When contacted by Ars, a Comcast spokesperson said, "We disagree with the decision but are pleased that we have confirmed our continued use of 10G in advertising."

So maybe Ars overstepped in their headline?

Ars reported on this at the end of January.

Comcast reluctantly agrees to stop its misleading “10G Network” claims. Comcast said it will drop "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after losing appeal.

Seems like it would be fairly simple to at least sue them in small claims court. California allows up to $6250 for businesses.

Good thing they monetized their API.

I went with Kanary because it covered quite a lot and it is frequent, at least once a month - but EasyOptOuts does look like it’s worth the money.

They always are the collateral damage. It’s a terrible thing, really. The poor people just keep voting against their own self-interest because they believe the lies of career grifters.
