Is SoundCloud owned by google? I looked it up, but it didn't seem to be. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=google+owns+soundcloud&t=brave&ia=web https://duckduckgo.co

  It's not, but the implication is that they're touting their effort to be "much more protective of the privacy of Techdirt's readers" as they begin self-hosting their tracking tools, while reader data is still being sent to SoundCloud, a private third-party with a heavily-vested interest in user tracking.

    Thanks for the correction, apparently I was mistaken.

      You haven’t actually said what you were mistaken about.

        > mbedded frames from soundcloud.com & w.soundcloud.com which I also believe is google owned. This is erroneous, as soundcloud is not google owned.
