Your comment misses a fundamental point about privacy. Privacy is not about being hidden away, it's having control over your data. Last FM had a good set of privacy controls, in that users could send their tracks over and if memory serves, correct me, they could choose to socialise it.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoYes, that is one view of privacy. But on HN, privacy concerns are also about use of data for targeted advertising regardless of what controls are there. Last.fm’s heyday predates the modern ad tracking that creeps so many out.
- loughnane 3y agoYeah, that’s the line for me. Firms talk about controls but if there is even one person in the world who can look up all the media I’ve consumed them that’s one too many. Gives me the creeps.
