It's funny reading this article after seeing one of my questions from 2011 edited today, to remove the word "Thanks!" from the bottom. I've been on SO since 2009. I can confirm the community is getting harsher, less pati

I wasn't really trying to go down the "what about" route in my comment. I think these companies (and many more) are part of the same issue: collecting so-called "shadow profiles" on non-consenting "customers&qu

Just one question, following Zuckeberg's congress show-and-dance: are the next CEOs to be called in front of the committee the ones from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion? Because the way I see it, they're collecting millions of &q

If you want a VPN (P == Private), don't get one from a company that treats "privacy" like a four-letter word. Just as you shouldn't trust an ad blocker put forth by an ad company.
