FYI most americans don't care about any of this. I suspect you're getting your info from chronically online people and the articles they read. That aside, if you're interested in US politics you might wanna look at the detail

I can't answer that because I rarely use paypal myself. In fact they banned one of my two accounts (personal, business) for using gift cards which makes me uninterested in using the other one more than once a year. That aside, I'v

>why PayPal still exists in 2024 Because they have a ton of users. People who don’t have credit card numbers saved on autofill so PayPal is more convenient. People also think it’s safer because the website doesn’t see your card number

How correlated? I spent 2 minutes trying and failing to get chatGPT to generate code that downloads an image dataset and runs diehard on the LSBs. I'd expect the LSBs to pass the randomness test.

Research like this does not touch on that issue because it’s completely unrelated. Why would someone trying to exfiltrate private data have to do key exchange? Moreover, if you try to enforce anything by placing a bump in the wire (the only

IMO that shouldn't be part of the threat model. I could run an ad right now that consumes CPU in timed intervals and estimates CPU usage using a microbenchmark to communicate with js on other pages. This sort of fingerprinting and bits

My point is that you and the other guy are just making stuff up and spreading misinformation. At the API level, an app that doesn't have the user's explicit permission to get location, camera, run in the background, etc is not tha

Web apps also get your IP. Why aren't you using a VPN if you care about that? Web apps can also get the rest if you click accept when it asks for camera access. What exactly do you lose by installing an app?

I'm an app dev. What can I record in the background? What can I track?

by NavinF 2y ago
No, I'm asserting that the app acquires as much data as the website (ie. whatever you typed into their forms) and it gets leaked all the same. Refusing to install the app makes no sense if you still use the website

by NavinF 2y ago
Yeah that has literally nothing to do with their app. If you submitted your data on their website, it'd be leaked just the same

I'm an app dev. How exactly would I track your location without your consent?

That explains nothing. I'm pretty sure it's talking about info that you type into form fields in the app. Same reason FB "links" your health info even though it has no access to the health info stored by your OS. The sam

All good points. I submitted this because it at least mentioned some of the issues with attempting to collect taxes on death. The idea of realizing and taxing all gains upon death is quite popular among the terminally online.
