The HN title is incorrect. The original article has no mention of "fingerprints".
The title in the article is more accurate: "...Are Sharing Sensitive Data With Google". Perhaps it was updated later. Or there was some misuse of the word "fingerprint" (i.e. browser/device fingerprint, opposed an actual scan of your finger).
- codazoda 4y agoI think the title is probably sensationalized and should be edited to match the page per the typical rules. I suspect good intent here though where this probably means "fingerprints" in the technical sense and the article does talk about that.
- mikedelago 4y agoI agree. "fingerprints" should be changed to "digital fingerprints" to make it clear that literal, actual fingerprints are not going to google.
