PSA: tiktok can see everything you type in their browser. so when you click a link to buy something in someone’s profile, everything you type after clicking that link will be logged by tiktok. EVERYTHING. move accordingly.

Finally! Someone has managed to do it! I'll admit, slightly upset that we couldn't have been the ones to do it first, but so glad this crap is being addressed. great work!

My interpersonal relationships prof told us she tracked everything her husband did on his phone and computer—gps, internet history, texts/emails—because the secret to a successful marriage is knowing that you can’t trust anyone.

(1/2) Out running this morning on a new route and a lady runs past me. Despite only passing, when I get home @Strava automatically tags her in my run. If I click on her face it shows her full name, picture and a map of her running route (which effectively shows where she lives)

Note

Q: What can you do as a consumer?

Answer from Jeremy: Use #Firefox and anti-tracking software Answer from Remy: Don't be a consumer - build for the Web platform, make and share things

Jeremy: Nowadays, having a website is "disruptive" - use that to your advantage!

This is a very interesting read - privacy and data ownership is quite familiar to those of us who have been using tech for some meaningful amount of our lives, but what about those who've never touched the Internet, but have suddenly found their data is being collected and owned by someone, somewhere?

I've been using DuckDuckGo for a couple of years now, and have no complaints. The privacy baked into the product is great, and their extensibility for things like !gh to search on GitHub or searching "html pretty print" is awesome for quick productivity boosting.

I'd recommend you giving it a go, and see how you feel after a while. And if you're finding search results aren't so great every so often, you can !g to get your Google results!
