^ kind of agree.
Merging behavioral analytics like “people are still using this feature” and the more creepy type like retargeting ads that follow you around seems to be at the root of this.
If you use a service, why would you expect them to not know you used the service?
It makes tons of sense to be concerned with giving them PII or access to your other habits. But you’re upset that clicking a button on someone’s website informs that website? Combining benign behavioral analytics in criticism just serves to degrade real privacy concerns.
- icebraining 7y agoYou are not just "informing that website", but also up to "70 destinations like Google Analytics, Amplitude, Hubspot, Fullstory, Intercom" - including Freshpaint itself. Which can follow you around just as well as any ad service.
