I feel like there is a litany of the internet: "that which can be collected will be." That's been true since the beginning. What continues to surprise me is that people think only "bad guys" do it.
This is why we continue to lock down browsers and provide ever narrower permission classes.
- Evan_Hellmuth 4y agoPeople only care when "bad guys" do it
- dinkledunk 4y agoThat's because only "bad guys" do this. If a "good buy" does this, they automatically become a "bad guy".
- headsoup 4y agoI think madrox is referring to 'good guys' as in Western countries vs China etc, not literal good guys and bad guys. That's a fairly common view, regardless of all the actual bad Western country leaderships' conduct.

- MBCook 4y agoIt’s an abuse of a feature, in a way. There are certainly non-evil use cases for the feature being used here. But as we know, that which can be used by advertising/tracking people will be used by them.
