The ad companies are complaining. This is either a farce or Google is doing something actually useful this time.
Google’s tools for replacing cookies are intended to help the industry meet business goals while respecting consumer privacy, they said.
There isn’t light at the end of the tunnel, it’s another train coming.
Whenever Google says something like “respecting consumer privacy,” I expect the worst.
They’ll “respect privacy” just like they “don’t share or sell” our data.
Translates to ‘we’re gonna fuck you as hard as we can… legally.’
And you’re still right to suspect the pause before ‘legally.’
The ad companies are complaining that another ad company is building a monopoly over ad data
I, for one, am glad the only time I ever have to deal with chrome or chromium anymore is when I use flashpoint because I really don’t trust them not to use this as an excuse to make a monopoly on stealing your data for advertising.
I love Google’s idea of “privacy”.
We will protect users privacy by ensuring they only give all their data to us.
It’s really “security.” Every big tech company is trying to sell us on “security” over privacy, because as we all know, they are 100% secure and have no data breaches. In fact, it’s even against the law to hack them!
