@beehaw.orgAlso remember this is useless without complementary security measures:
If you are relying on "Legally they're not allowed to," instead of, "They simply can't, despite all they might try," then you're not doing it right.
Google does not really offer a space where people can come together to create communities or discussion threads. However, with the introduction of Perspectives, it may do so later.
So—despite the dumbass title (article's fault, not OP's)—explicitly not an alternative to Reddit, where literally the whole point is to create communities and discussion threads.
Who said anything about "common/uncommon"? Are you really enough of a subservient piece of shit to think that the way capitalism does things dictates the way they should be?
All right. Well, let me rephrase: it's not a meaningful excuse which we should buy as justification for gross undermining of our privacy and our trust in organizations which allegedly exist to help us when we are in crisis.
All right. Well, TBF I'd rather "sound unemployed" (whatever that means) than sound like I'm shilling for big tech corporations and their predatory practices. shrug
Based on my experience in many privacy roles covering US, EU, UK and other countries, the sale of a company will likely be covered in Google's privacy notice and is not considered a sale of personal data considering customer's personal data will immediately be covered by the purchasing company's privacy notice.
Funny, because if I decided to go into business with Google by renting a service from them, that honestly shouldn't mean that I automatically decided to go into business with some other corporation at Google's whim.
But hey, capitalism really cares about personal autonomy. It's not like it just exploits our labor and treats us like commodities or anything. /s
I appreciate that the only JS scripts Beehaw seems to load are from beehaw.org
. Usually NoScript shows like two full pages of domains, and (at least—you know, the obvious ones like xyzads4you.com
) half of them are for ads and "analytics".
Out of 33 of these crisis center websites they looked at:
In follow-up tests, four organizations appeared to have completely removed the code. The majority of the centers we contacted did not respond to requests for comment.
Ignorance may have been an excuse prior to this investigation, but it's not an excuse now.
Fascinating comment from someone who doesn't understand rates of growth at all, and has no idea why this "offer" is coming at this point in time.
