To me the most worrying is that while I intellectually know this is bad, emotionally it gets a solid “meh” from me.
Google is desensitizing us to this kind of bad behavior, to the point that this sounds like it’s only half the story, or not such a bug deal.
- jarfil 6y agoAll I care about is whether this is opt-in and whether I can decide to not give then that data. Other than that, Google being able to process more data about their own platform than others, is something to be expected.
- xondono 6y agoAgreed, but there’s a lot to say about what’s the default and how you are supposed to opt-out. If Google is artificially inflating opt-out costs for the user, then that’s something to watch for.
- mrweasel 6y ago"meh" sound about right, I didn't know that Google where doing things like this, but my response was pretty much; "meh, I doubt that anyone is really surprised".
