That would be a beautiful revival of an ad campain.
"NO MEANS NO!"
I'm disappointed that even Signal does this when asking you for access to your contacts.
To be fair, as long as you aren't logged in, that's the best you're going to get with cookies or local storage.
Which would make sense, but they do it for the logged-in users as well! (And of course there’s platforms like LinkedIn or Twitter which do this and require you to log in for any meaningful interaction.)
Have you considered not rewarding their bad behavior?
