Google has been scraping everything from us since day one. Meta, Microsoft, Github, Slack, Reddit, StackOverflow, big and small, every single app that interacts with people uses our own data to make money and create walled gardens. I haven't seen a single one opening their silos to the world. That's our data, we produced it, you captured it and now you think it's yours
So no, your cries for regulating others because you are losing the race won't work this time.
- WarmWash 14d agoHow much money have people paid to use these services over the years? None? Ok, now you understand the business model.
- Kuyawa 14d agoI understand the business model, we are data providers, they are aggregators. That's fine. What's not right is that they want to limit the use of such data when it's not theirs in first place. They just store it but that doesn't give them a license to prohibit the use by a third party since we all are owners of that data
- WarmWash 13d agoNo, they are data sellers. You pay them in data. Just like money, it becomes theirs.
