Google Starts Fingerprint-Tracking All Your Devices In 8 Weeks
TL;DR - Google makes (arguably insane) claim that it previously acted responsibly with regards to fingerprinting, and says they will begin acting irresponsibility with fingerprinting in February.
Practical take-aways you probably already knew:
Like Google maps:
Huh, it’s a good thing there is no way to easily determine who someone is from that information.
Exactly. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that Google’s clever privacy engineering isn’t enough to keep any of us safe.
Google’s expectation that we be okay with these practices feels like corporate gaslighting, to me.
That would be an interesting experiment. Maybe cancel culture and public shaming will cease whene everyone realizes no one is perfect and lost people do shitty things from time to time.
It won’t only a few will be targeted in the media and the same cancerous culture will continue.
Thanks! The article was a bit of a tough read for me. Lol
