Sloppy, non-privacy-preserving "analytics" set up by some communications intern ≠ malice. They can mean well and still do a poor job. True privacy on the internet is notoriously hard.
- ehnto 2mo agoI don't think you can handwave responsibility like that, even if your theoretical were true it's still the responsibility of the org.
- 4thguy 2mo agoSorry, no. Code doesn't magically go from the intern's workstation to live. If the chain of incompetence is that long, then the most generous read is that they don't care
