    Think Google got lost like 180m lawsuit for something similar, although somehow it wasn’t the consumers suing or receiving the payout, think it was the states or something..

    There is no such thing as beneficent megacorp

    If something looks like it’s there to help in some way you can be sure it’s a elaborate (or not so elaborate) guise to either make more money or gain market advantage over competitors. The more clever the “benefit” is disguised the easier people swallow the bullshit.

    We have been in the information age for a long long time now. 20+ years and data was being harvested way back in the early days too through email especially back then.

    It’s just now a days we willingly (on social media) or witlessly (on nearly every internet connected device) give all out endless amounts of personal information away to corps/govs with little care to what it all means.

    There is no putting pandora back in the box, there is no laws that will stop prying eyes since the lawmakers want this info too. There is no going back to a pre-internet mobile device era. Shit will only get more and more invasive and entrenched.

    If you think it’s bad now fast forward to the point where we start getting body implant technology. Being denied insurance because you have a predisposition for a disease you don’t even have yet.. because data from your favorite implant corp sells your data to anyone who wants it. Never being able to go untracked again, permanent GPS on every person living a modern lifestyle. etc etc.

    Right now it’s just sleezy and creepy and a nice way to spy on peeps and a way for corps to make extra bucks selling detailed demographic information on you for ads. This shit will get worse.

    Does this guy ever make short videos? I click on it to see what he has to say…11mins long. I close the tab straight away. He should learn about less is more.

    Remember Apple’s “privacy” campaign to protect the users from the likes of Facebook (Meta). It turns out Apple wanted the competition out, mining and selling user data for themselves. It was too lucrative for Tim Cook not to.

    Isn’t this about the same lawsuit that was mentioned like last week where people including software/web devs were pointing out that the “independent researchers” were full of shit and the information collected was data needed to actually have the apps function? You’d figure Louis would do better research, but he is kind of a hack.
