What is despicable about an analytics product that doesn't track people?
- ddevault 6y ago"An analytics product that doesn't track people" is nonsensical. It's like "water that isn't wet". Importantly, real trust on the internet is built on math and logic, not on faith. And faith, in this case, in a corporate institution which has spent years expending its fullest effort to direct as much of the flow of internet traffic through its servers as possible. I am never going to take you at your word that you won't write any of this data down, I promise, for real, no subpoenas or subversion going on here, no sir! And yes, I know who you are, and that it's no use convincing you that the company that you built is a net evil on this world.
