You’re commenting on HN, you know it’s there.
- saagarjha 7y agoI do, and I can make an informed choice. Unless your website has a very eclectic audience, I’m not the only one using your services.
- zcid 7y agoAnd what about the other 99.99999% of people that use the web? Do they also understand what is going on behind the scenes?
- snlnspc 7y agoI didn't, but assume this is the case with everything. I mostly care about giving my data away for free (cut me in please), but none of my non-HN commenting roommates knew. Is their privacy less important than mine?
- smt88 7y agoI'm commenting on HN. I've been developing for the web for 24 years. I don't know how and when my data is collected or shared most of the time. The idea that FB and Google are openly making a trade with users is ludicrous. I'm horrified that you either sincerely believe that there's a fair negotiation happening or that you don't care (given your employment history).
- DEADBEEFC0FFEE 7y agoI'm here, and struggle to follow many of the threads on HN. As a father, I don't really see how I can effectively prepare my kids for a surveillance internet.
