  Can’t upvote this enough. The doublespeak out of corporations like Google is outrageous.

  > All in all, a shocking 93.7% of all online trackers are either from Google, Facebook, or Microsoft

    This whole thread is horrible and puts HN in a totally different light for me Google blogs how they try to make it easier for people remove revenge porn (and other bad stuff like doxxing) about themselves from search and help kids not randomly see porn online Yet here we have techbros complain about omg those bad trackers I hate google's evil tech stance, especially after they gave themselves permission to scrape the entire web to train their AI (and btw HN is totally silent about it) but revenge porn and doxxing are serious life-altering traumatizing things and happen to people who often have no recourse to deal with it The nice explanation is zero people bothered to click and read, the less nice explanation is that techbro crowd probably has not as many victims of it than perpetrators, statistically

  Yeah as long as they get to control the narrative around how to stay "safe" online stuff like this will be swept under the rug.
