- KGIII 9y agoI believe some people define ChromeOS as spyware, in and of itself. On a personal level, I'm not sure what to think. I just know that I've seen multiple complaints.
- pjmlp 9y agoAny Web app is spyware, because you don't control what is actually stored on remote servers. Since ChromeOS is basically a browser based OS with high dependency on web applications,....
- lallysingh 9y agoThat's a bit of a jump. In meatspace, that'd be like saying any person is a spy, because you don't control who they talk to.
- pjmlp 9y agoI assume you never had the "joy" of living in a authoritarian state. I happen to know what PIDE/DGS stands for. Every person even those that you think are your best friends, are a possible spy.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoHi, I'm a marketer working across all areas digital, and a few that are not. I guess my attitude isn't great for your business, is it? Oh well.
- Gustomaximus 9y agoMarketing was a strong business back when newspaper and billboards dominated the industry. Sure personal information is useful for targeting. Should it be removed, it makes little difference to the industry or myself. Mainly there would be less relevant ads, ad stock going to less relevant eyeballs and some channel realignment. Your statement I am making this statement for my work is completely incorrect.
