My jaw dropped when I saw that. Not sure how many people are aware if it.

Samsung is also trying to make its ACR data more valuable for ad targeting, including through a deal signed in December with analytics firm Experian.
This should add to their profits.
People deserve better and should expect/demand better.
Average users will not have the knowledge or patience for work arounds.
Imo, the larger problem seems to be the majority of users appear to be fine with ads and data collection just to watch a movie or series.
I mistakenly replied directly to your comment instead of your post. Sorry for the confusion.
Probation is not enough imo. A licensed physician should know better and clearly this one does not.
There used to be a good one called Tabliss. Not sure if it is still available. Very customizable.
We know of no rigorous study showing that toughened digital marketing privacy policies produced tangible economic benefits for anyone, let alone lower-income consumers.
You do not need a study to see the numerous headlines of companies having their data breached of your personal information they did not even have permission to collect.
I suppose the significant amount of money spent on fines, repairs, lawsuits, ransomware do not count.
I would not consider that theft. More a passing of the torch.
A law to prohibit data collection would be nice.
The judge said it was a monopoly but there does not seem to be any consequences at this time if ever.
Mehta’s conclusion that Google has been running an illegal monopoly sets up another legal phase to determine what sorts of changes or penalties should be imposed to reverse the damage done and restore a more competitive landscape.
The potential outcome could result in a wide-ranging order requiring Google to dismantle some of the pillars of its internet empire or prevent it from paying to ensure its search engine automatically answers queries on the iPhone and other devices. Or, the judge could conclude only modest changes are required to level the playing field.
Hardening cars is wild west right now.
The cars should not need to be hardened. That is what needs to stop, imo!!
(stiffles the bubbling hysterical laughter)
Paying for ads is a terrible idea companies have forced into the narrative, without users really caring.
I choose not to pay for ads.
People have become accustomed to the corporate and government invasion of their lives little by little. This will most likely continue until it is too late.
A sad world indeed.
To orb or not to orb….
Automakers should not even have access to any of your information!
The younger you are when surveillance starts the less you will notice or care as you grow up. Makes it easier for the corporations and governments.
This implies they are fine with it by tacit agreement.
