Regulation about ads and tracking.
- bix6 2y agoThat wouldn’t be enough to stop smartphone addiction though
- layer8 2y agoCorrect. Only the current addiction economy.
- giantg2 2y agoYou think your data/activity isn't being monitized?
- layer8 2y agoI did mention tracking?
- giantg2 2y agoWhich isn't the same as single site collection or even selling "anonomizied" aggregate data or training data.
- layer8 2y agoI certainly meant the regulation to cover those. To be able to sell data about user behavior, you have to track it, regardless of whether across several sites or just a single site.
- giantg2 2y agoWell, that's not typically what's meant or else security access log would be completely illegal.
- jgilias 2y agoI’m with you. But then, I’m currently doom scrolling on this text-only site that doesn’t even have ads on it.
- layer8 2y agoSame, but I was referring to the addition economy in the title. That’s not what is going on HN here I think. What would help a bit is removing visible upvote counts and the karma counter, because those can be addictive.
