      Don’t worry, they’ll tell you

        You can find their SSN and credit card number on the dank web in a list of 1k profiles for $1

    I mean…yeah? Is anyone surprised or shocked when Paramount Pictures releases a new movie? It’s literally Google’s whole business idea, they sell your data.

    Because they know that wording it like:

    “We use our monopoly advantage to push anti-consumer features nobody wants. Enable extra tracking for no reason? Yes/no”

      It’s a twitter image that says,

      “For anyone unaware, Google Chrome is currently rolling out an update that tracks your interests based on browsing history, then share them with 3rd party websites. The notification page makes it sound like they added a new privacy feature, but in actuality they automatically enrolled you into their tracking system and you have to go and manually opt out.”

      There’s a screenshot of a pop up from Chrome that says, “Enhanced ad privacy in Chrome” with some marketing spin on how you get more choice on the types of ads you see.
