Screenshots shared with 404 Media show tenant screening services ApproveShield and Argyle taking much more data than they need. “Opt-out means no housing.”
My other half worked for a large retail chain in the UK. One of her colleagues (let’s call him Bevin Koyle for no reason whatsoever) was a particularly tiresome dude - not a bad guy by any means, but just super fucking irritating. Very self-centred, happy to dodge responsibility and let a colleague take a fall, and a bit of a gobby twat.
Back when she worked the quieter hours and mobile data plans were quite anaemic, she would put her mobile phone hotspot on for her colleagues to listen to music or whatever.
This one shift, Bevin had run out of data, and already forseeing this situation happening, she had already set the password accordingly. “I can see your WiFi”, says Bevin, “but what’s the password?”
“BevinKoyleIsACunt”, she loudly announces.
“No seriously,” says Bevin, “what’s the password?”
“BevinKoyleIsACunt” she once again says loudly.
Bevin is getting a bit fucked off now, and is like “stop being nasty, give me the WiFi code”
Not grasping the rudeness of his own demands, she says “I tell everyone the same thing, BevinKoyleIsACunt”
He stormed off oblivious to how helpful she had been each time. I still raise a wry smile whenever I remember how supremely helpful she had been.
Oh you want my password? Okay, ready?
F … U …
No that’s it.

The problem is “Opt-out means no housing”.
And if enough ‘opt out’ it also means no renters. Solidarity.
