- sm4rk0 8y agoThe only critical comment gets downvoted. Is this FB or HN?
- retSava 8y agoWell, they do own Linkedin too.
- WilliamEdward 8y agoYou know they can do this without stars right? Just by seeing which pages you visit.
- t0astbread 8y agoI like GitHub but you're right. Microsoft does get a lot of knowledge about my interests and work as a developer through GitHub. In the case of GitHub, I'm (still) okay with it though, since most of the data I reveal on there is public anyways (code, organization membership, stars, ...) and the benefits (for me at least) outweigh the problem that I'm giving personal data to Microsoft. But yeah, I rarely hear people talk about privacy on GitHub even though we should pay attention to it.
- oweiler 8y agoPeople often forget that GH is a Social Network as well.
