Haven’t printers done the same thing for decades?
- jamesnorden 2mo agoOh that makes it totally ok then...
- stingraycharles 2mo agoNot saying that, but at least that there must have been ample legal precedent that this is probably allowed.

- kmacdough 2mo agoNo it's not ok, and most people are horrified when they learn. It's just a reality check that we've lived in a surveillance state for quite a while and it's time we take a stand. And a reminder that the government has done a good job of suppressing these realities from public awareness.
- hulitu 1mo ago> and it's time we take a stand I'm afraid it is too late.
- MisterTea 2mo agoAnd? Where are we going with this whataboutism?
- kmacdough 2mo agoAnd it's a reality check that we live in a surveillance state. To a degree that most people find appalling, but the government is good enough at suppressing public awareness enough to cause an outcry. It's also not whataboutism, the comment specifically wondered how else were being surrupticously tracked without our knowledge. This is a concrete example and I think many would be surprised such tracking also exists outside the digital realm.
- chorizo 2mo agoAlso why color laser printers refuse to print b/w documents when they run out of color toner since they can no longer print the yellow DocuColor tracking dots.
