Agreed, this is truly shocking behavior on their part.
1) They do the same thing. When I have the google toolbar installed and use bing, my clickstream data goes to Google.
2) On a micro level, there is nothing wrong with this at all.
Of course, on a macro level, both sites trample all over user privacy, so you should be using DDG.
- pessimist 16y agoTo the defenders of Bing - would it be ok if Bing similarly used visits to amazon.com and various URL parameters to reimplement their "bestselling" lists for each category? I'm sure they could, and it seems clearly unethical. They are doing the same to google, right?
- AmazingMe 16y agoyou still didn't get it, they are using clickstream from every possible source from amazon to ebay to google. and there is nothing unethical about it, as it just gives them annonymous data about which site people are clicking to. Google gets the same data from google toolbar and other products.
