Apparently, 8 Million Users' AI conversation data were sold for Profit by "Privacy" Extensions.

Moral of the Story: Don't install an extension from the Chrome Web Store just because it has the "Featured" Badge. Verify if the extension is actually private and secure to use before installing and using it.

WTF?! Now don't tell me that this surprises you. Why do so many people still naively think to keep their privacy over VPN's for data-hungry big corporations?

Three years in the field can take a toll! Our stations in the Galápagos just received a full deep-maintenance checkup. A big thank-you to Sebastian Achilles for traveling to the islands to service, upgrade, and calibrate the equipment. We’re excited to continue collecting high-quality data for the project.

@freezenet they only do so as to tighten their #DataCollection and to have the #Government choke amy small #competiton to death, like the #Fediverse.

These obnoxious banners are not the fault of #GDPR or other privacy laws

They're the fault of tech companies collecting huge amounts of data and sharing them with their 226 partners.

They could remove these prompts today if they weren't so greedy and cavalier with their customers' data.

"We care about your privacy"

Please let us share your data to our 226 partners 

If you want to say no, you have to click through multiple prompts - but the Allow All button is right there!

What new fresh hell is this?

"Please click here and tick the box if you DO NOT want to be opted in."

And when you click on the non-visible link:

"[ ] I DO NOT want to be opted in."

@daedalus
And it sounds like it’s not getting any better… with organisations which overcollect but can’t secure data continuing to do the same… That’s depressing. But as you say, if there are no consequences why bother to improve? 😐
In the meantime, the most secure data is that which is not collected. I know it’s preaching to the converted, but for orgs: if you don’t need it, don’t collect it; or don’t continue to hold it. 😐
