So after a long article about Facebook, the first comment is about Google.
If Tesla kills a driver, it's Tesla and Waymo.
If Facebook is selling your data, it's Facebook and Google.
Why don't we stop pretending and just say we all hate Google, irrespective of who is actually at fault? That will save us trouble of having to find any evidence proving our claims.
- EnFinlay 8y agoThe article is about the dangers of large companies tracking users to such a high degree that it's dangerous for us, profitable for them. Facebook is an example. Google is also an example. Personally I'm more worried about Google because they have all my e-mails and everything my phone does. I don't have Facebook anymore. It's not about hating Google, it's about recognizing the power and ubiquity they have, and how for many in HN, it dwarfs Facebook in terms of potential personal impact.
