What are your sources for debunking mine?
Besides you just not liking to face the truth?
Blanket surveillance is not clickbait,
it's spyware, and a problem.
But sure continue to stick your head in the sand,
that will surely help humanity beat this problem.
Interesting point about non-conventional cookie practices flagging "privacy-first" users as unique to spying parties. I'd imagine this line of thinking harmonizes with the herd mentality, where if you stand outside of the herd you're more likely to be spotted and targeted. Makes you wonder what practices users could engage to actually help combat privacy invasion, and which might backfire
Lol, I'm done discussing with you fruity.
You're blatantly ignoring / laughing away evidence to protect the image of a bad, but for some reason, you're favorite spyware slinging company.
And on top of it,
now also bashing the privacy and linux communities since you can't make valid debunkments :P
Instead of bashing,
to suck up to that spying company,
perhaps you should try defending your rights to privacy for a change.
You may rant in the void now,
I won't waste time on your fanboy nonsense anymore.
