Does anyone not feel that this is deeply problematic?
What's worse is the faux 'Silicon Valley' ethos / koolaid they put on us.
A regular company doing this does it for obvious reasons.
But Google sticks to their 'Do No Evil' mantra, which I find entirely hypocritical: 'We say we are Doing No Evil, ergo, we are not doing any evil'.
I find it doubly disturbing.
They're even worse than classical companies, and yet somehow through their own branding koolaid would have us believe that they are 'more moral'.
- jomamaxx 10y agoIt's funny the koolaid extends to hackernews. A 'big corp' like Google uses fairly nefarious practices, makes it nary impossible to 'opt out' of their 'life tracking' measures, and uses that information for their own profit whilst at the same time 'virtue signalling' and extolling some kind of moral premise ... and you buy it? The lack of self awareness in the Valley is sometimes disturbing.
