Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.
“We changed our privacy settings to allow us to snoop on what you’re looking at and shove you ads accordingly. Feel free to opt out, but we’ll probably opt you back in when you aren’t paying attention.”
Ah the privacy sandbox that was overwhelming disagreed with, but that Google forced onto the web because they’re a monopoly.
So glad those anti-monopoly laws are working so well in the US.
Seriously the only major time I heard of these in the last few decades was when MS tried to pull the Internet Explorer only move back in the early days of Windows
Didn’t the agency that enforces this get gutted during the Trump years anyway?
Along with net neutrality yes
Even then, I’m sure if they had just waited a few years, no one would have said anything.
