A little too much blaming the victim vibe from this. "It's not the rapists who let you get raped! You let yourself get raped! Why didn't you have more personal security?"
It seems you either missed the point of what the post was getting at, or you are being purposefully obtuse about it.
- Aerroon 5y agoVictim blaming? What's the point of your system being open and you are in control if you don't use that control to stop voluntarily sending data to websites you don't want. I agree that it would be nicer if websites slurped up less data. But to portray a lot of this stuff as the user being the victim is ridiculous. The users are the ones that voluntarily started using browsers made by an adtech companies. There are alternatives but they don't use them! And yet they complain that their data then ends up with the adtech company because their browser, that is under their control, sends it to the company.
