And for European users under GDPR, maybe the only legal tradeoff too.
- anoncake 7y agoWhat makes you think that the GDPR, which is designed to give users control over their data, makes it illegal to give users control over their data?
- mhandley 7y agoUnder GDPR, Google can only use your data for the uses you have given permission for. This includes not handing it to other companies (via their API or otherwise) for any other uses.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoAll they'd need to do is give me a way to grant them permission to share this data, and add that other company to their who-we-share-with list for my account. (Also I guess they're already doing that, because the API isn't being killed off, it's being restricted to companies that threw a couple dozen kilodollars into a Google-approved bonfire.)
