Use code "SOG" to save money at

So basically the same website that swore to protect your privacy actually ended up doing the opposite? They’ve become the very thing they swore to destroy

[@alejandrovallencci]

Never ever trust a company that apologises after they get caught. I’m sick of hearing corporate statements about how “regretful and sorry” they are.

When it comes to "Why does privacy matter" I try to make this analogy: Imagine you leave your house and go to get into your car. Next to your car, there is a guy there writing when you left your house. As you get in, he takes a photo of your license plate. He doesn't interact with you in anyway, but stares at you intently. You start to drive down the street and he follows you. You come to a red light and stop, he makes a note of it. You drive around in circles for a while, trying to figure out what he's up to, this is noted as "suspicious behavior" on

It's funny, because on paper, it really seems like something most people would be ok with if they just asked. "oh, so you will see what I like and am interested in, and will refer me to those things? Sounds good to me" but no, they decided to be super unethical about this all

[@burnttoast26]

Could this be enough for a false advertising case? Because they went in big on the privacy narrative.

“Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

[@Clairavoya]

It's crazy how like, this stuff is borderline spyware but it's by actual companies not hackers, and there is not a lot you can do about it. As well as some of it isn't even stuff being put on your computer, it's the trackers just knowing everywhere you go, and stuff on websites getting your fingerprint. It's actually terrifying once you think about it

[@BobSellers6502]

It's almost like the only way to get actual privacy is to make this an actual crime with legislation.

[@RUNFROMONYX]

for those who havent figured it out yet, whenever a company says "your privacy matters" they care the least about your privacy

[@thecourier231]

I was always suspicious about how Duck Duck Go made money without tracking us. It turns out they completely lied, and it’s a big shame.

[@diamond2979]

i used to be one of those “i have nothing to hide people” but considering i’m a 21 year old woman, i really should get more serious about my privacy online..

[@Valdraya]

i like how all of his videos are like 'you're fucked, everyone knows everything about you and they're selling that information' and his solution is always like 'just learn to code your own web browser and pay monthly for a vpn service and never make a google account and never go near any electronics and wear a tinfoil hat and..'

[@Swankster9000]

Duck Duck Go: “Cmon guys use duck duck go we don’t steal your info like google”

[@kelly4187]

I called it. When they first appeared I said "either they are lying, or they are starting with good intentions and will be corrupted.".

[@professionalfatherdoer]

I love how advertisers invest billions and trillions of dollars into investing in machine learning to gather my information, calculate what ads would be best for me in real time, run thousands of ads per day through servers checking and guessing what'll get me to click whilst simultaneously reading what I'm doing at all times, just for like 9/10ths of the population to use ad blockers

[@Snotnarok]

Privacy is insane, I have heard about vtubers who hide their identities with models and thought that's a good idea, sounds neat. But apparently some of crazier of their audiences stalked their info to find out who they are.

[@alphanumeric6582]

Literally just a few days ago, I was wondering to myself "Can I really trust this browser?" I guess that aged well

[@swag-jn1lk]

I think at this point no matter what you use, they will always moniter/track/sell your information, I just wish they weren't so secretive about it. Instead of promising "privacy" they should just be clear about what they'll do with our information, and at that point it's up to us if we want to use their service.

[@abeltesfaye_]

The irony in a major company pretending to enforce privacy spying on its users is genuinely insane. However, sadly, I'm not surprised. If it wasn't for Snowden, we likely still wouldn't know the extent of how much a lot of our tech is watching us
