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 could be misunderstanding your intention. Can you share it to Samsung notes and save as PDF from there?

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.

I do not use Samsung Health. I would discontinue using it just for this alone.

Why the heck is it acceptable now for every company to share everything to third parties?

He also took Rose back to see her dad. She goofed, they went back again, saved him, caused a paradox, and he died anyway to put it all back.

Not the worst episode ever.

Hardening cars is wild west right now.

The cars should not need to be hardened. That is what needs to stop, imo!!

Paying for ads is a terrible idea companies have forced into the narrative, without users really caring.

I choose not to pay for ads.

I like Apple Maps at the moment because it is not currently packed with ads or suggestions.

I am fortunate enough to live in an area the directions are very accurate.
