You could at least add some commentary to your comment. I've read that article and I don't see the implications to our discussion here. They linked together all the information that women (and everyone else) put out there for others to scrape. That is not the same as the keyword/referrers/logged into Google argument that we are having.
- benologist 16y agoJust thought I'd show you how identifiable you really are, without your knowledge or consent or even knowing who the companies tracking you are. And it's exactly the same as what we're discussing - Rapleaf was even one of the companies I specifically mentioned earlier. These companies don't look at any single piece of data individually, they collate as much as they can and the result is ... what I linked to. Referrers and search terms are just two easily ended streams of data.
- coderdude 16y agoYes, you are correct. It is very easy to link all this data together to create a profile about a person. They probably have more data about each of us than any of us realizes. I think even I might be surprised by how much a company like Rapleaf has put together about me.
