Listening to Security Now Episode 961 (https://twit.tv/shows/security-now/episodes/961 https://twit.tv/shows/security-now/episodes/961) highlighted a trend where sites like FoxNews.com require email sharing and agreeing to terms of service before content can be viewed. Delving into Fox News' Privacy Policy, it's clear the extent of data collection and sharing is vast, including personal and activity data, with provisions for third-party sharing for advertising. Such practices raise serious privacy concerns, especially given the extensive user profiling and data monetization involved. This approach could set a worrying precedent for content access, prioritizing data collection over user privacy (https://www.foxnews.com/privacy-policy#fi https://www.foxnews.com/privacy-policy#fi). I don't care about Fox News specifically, but I hope this trend requiring sharing an email address to view ad-supported content doesn't become more popular. An example of this on Fox News is this article, which requires an email address to view: https://www.foxnews.com/world/navalnys-body-reportedly-found-signs-bruising-russia-claims-he-died-sudden-death-syndrome https://www.foxnews.com/world/navalnys-body-reportedly-found.... Technical users can limit tracking by using email relays, but this is a big ask for non-technical users.
