BuzzFeed News is not BuzzFeed. They were a serious news website¹ staffed by multiple investigative journalists, including a Pulitzer winner heading that division. They received plenty of awards and recognition.² It is indeed a shame they shared a name with BuzzFeed and that no doubt didn’t help, but it does not detract from their work.

There was no Atlantic link. The other source was MIT Technology Review.

The Associated Press did report on it³, and the focus was on the privacy implications too. The other time they reported on it⁴ was to announce Spain banned it for privacy concerns.

- stonethrowaway 2y agoThank you. I’ll take a look. The Atlantic link I’m referring to is the actual HN article link of the OP, not of the GP.
