I saw that today and though the same thing, looks like they are getting it from email but I do wish I could limit what I let google link to these kinda things.

- kingnothing 8y agoStop using Gmail and they won't have the data.

- sctb 8y agoNot here, please. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- Arzh 8y agoI feel that is an appropriate response to a comment like "Don't use Google"
- sctb 8y agoEven if you feel that way, the guidelines ask us to post civilly and substantively.

- a11595 8y agoThis site, in the last couple of years has changed to be run by old mods from /r/incels. Basic comments like "you don't want google to read your email, don't use their email" will are informative, wanted, and upvoted. People who know nothing about a subject or have never worked with a product responding with authoritative advice, being condescending to experts in the field, get upvoted. Pointing out things like this, or replying with disagreement to a mod gets your comments shadow deleted, and your account shadow banned, so the mod can feel power - power he lacks in his social and professional life. If you care about what these idiot mods say and karma, have multiple accounts and upvote yourself with a script. Or do what I do - have a whole slew of accounts all pre-logged in to multiple browsers, and say what any normal person would say, then just have a script recreate them every 6 months. and the idiots who keep posting guidelines, like the one who just replied to you? there's nothing you can do. your life is punishment enough. go cry in alone bed before it collapses from your weight. How's that for your guidelines?
