This obsession of pervasive targeted ads, and A/B testing methods needs to stop.
I have stopped using all google services except for search and YouTube. Apple Maps is fine now, if you need a free email account, you can get one on iCloud.com.
Who are these soulless marketing execs that are OK with using this type of extremely personal health data!? There should be a moral objection, which evidently isn’t there. That’s more horrifying.
- mtnGoat 7y agosometimes i wonder if the oversized paychecks at some of these companies are for the people with the best skills, or the people with the least morals.
- salsadip 7y agoI guess moral only exists for things which were a problem for a long time. Mass data collection is a relatively new thing. So morals around data collection don't really exist; ask the average person on the street how much they care about this. Result is those non-existent morals weren't able to be codified in law hence no wonder somebody is out there 'exploiting' this.
