> It's sad that despite all the warnings, people are so myopic and apathetic that it takes something this big and obvious to make them react. I took years before I realized Google was spying on me and following me around on different sites. I did get no warnings, until I realized what they were doing and visited sites that warned about it. It is just in the recent years "big tech" spying is a thing in the mainstream after like a decade of free reign. An ordinary person received warnings like 15 years after they made their Gmail or Facebook account.
