They are displacing text messaging and making it look like nothings changed.
They get more of your data, so there’s that.

If only Signal were the default messaging app!!!
They do not support dark mode on web pages if this is important to you. Reason given is easy to fingerprint.
Doesn’t scanning before upload imply the encryption is broken somewhere? Is that the point, to remove encryption? Forgive my naivete.
This question reminded me of the old series Zoo. What happens when animals band together against man…first two seasons were decent enough
I do. Companies do seem to be adding them everywhere. Eventually everything will showcase ads because not enough consumers were against it. Apps that are part of the OS, imo, should not have any ads, regardless of price point for the device.
While the new UI offers mostly a bloatware-free experience, it’s the ads that are annoying. For starters, the pre-installed Weather App, although can be deleted, is LOADED with ads. The ad loading also causes the app to feel super jittery and slow. So, I’d get rid of that first. Secondly, it’s the Moto Hub, which is actually a hub of ugly ads and shady app recommendations.
There’s a Moto Hub home screen widget as well, which comes preloaded and shows ads. Moto Hub also spams you with not-so-appealing notifications. So, that’s the second thing you’d want to force stop since you can’t uninstall.
I am so tired of companies being allowed to shove ads everywhere!
All companies are going to track you one way or another. This is our reality. We can hope for no tracking laws, which will most likely never happen, or, never use technology, which is not an option for the most part.
Not a great place to be, imo.
The letter opens with an admission by the collective of police chiefs that they’re unable to do their jobs unless tech companies do half the work for them.
I suppose previous generations of law enforcement that were able to do their jobs before all this does not count.
For the non tech person choosing to be as private as possible, can you just turn it off and it not collect anything? Sorry for the naive question. I honestly do not know the answer.
When did it become ok for people to be violated so profusely without any consequence?
I appreciate everything being done on our behalf. Thanks Dude!
My insane thoughts are this, Microsoft wants all your data so they may use it to sell you something, from the advertisers they made money from by sharing your information.
Microsoft is also in bed with OpenAI. It seems OpenAI wants an operating system that will require you, as a user, surrendering to them full access and control of everything. https://gizmodo.com/openai-wants-to-control-your-computer-1851240566
Profit and control are the ultimate goal, imo.
In theory there should be an acceptable balance, somewhere. What this would look like I do not know.
Article quote “Mozilla will focus on bringing “trustworthy AI into Firefox.” To do so, it will bring together the teams that work on Pocket, Content and AI/Ml.”
Does not scream privacy friendly, imo
Is there no longer an option to use the machine without the report or connection to internet?
And depending on your car make, model, and year, there is constant surveillance/data collecting negating the owners “freedom”.
Thank you!
But don’t you just get tired of jumping through hoops for every little thing these days?
Big tech needs to stop being evil. There, problem solved, right…right…ha
