It's not an exploitation for monetary gain, it's an exchange of services. Do you think those massive servers they got are running for free? Aside from hardware, facilities and electricity, they have to pay programmers, accounting, management, cleaning services, etc. etc.
People have to get over the fact, that this is how the world works - and also the only way the world as we know it can work.
If they aren't above illegaly selling your data, then aren't above illegaly collecting your data, even if you ticked a little "I do not consent" box. I fail to see, how this change can be anything but positive.
Targeted ads has become such a boogey man, that you all can no longer view these things rationally. There is nothing wrong with companies wanted to get their products advertized to the most likely customers and there is nothing inherently wrong with a platform using your activity to see what ads you are most likely interested in.
The potential issue with it, is your personal data leaking everywhere and being assimilated by questionable companies who could create a psychological profile of you, that knows you better than you know yourself.
If they truely only let companies target you, by presenting them an internally grouped collective of likely customers in which you happen to be included, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Same goes for the newest change in how chrome manages ads.
Same. My parents told me not to look straight into the sun, i saw it as a challenge.
You are not connected to a grid, by having electrodes measure potential differences in your brain. If the chip (outside of your brain) were to malfunction, then the interface would simply no longer work. big deal. you replace it.
Again, wtf do you think a brain inplant is?
Not how a brain implant works.
If I could have direct interface to my devices (write text by thinking it, control video game characters,…) I would get one in a heartbeat.
Sadly it'll be a while until the tech comes that far and it'll have strictly medical usecases for quite some time.
Dude alienates the last devoted members his org has left. Religion cant change; they got their statues laid out in an unchangeable text.
The hostile takeover of islam is gonna accelerate even more in the coming years and our last bastion is helping that process.
Because there is no conscious force guiding it
I think that this actually at least appears to be a good step from google.
Third parties no longer need to know who you are. As i understand it, chrome can directly deliver only the necessary information just when it is needed. No external saving of data required.
Also: get over it. Most of the internet works, because people learn of products and then buy them. Personalized ads are sent to show people things, which they specifically might be interested in. People want to sell products and solely this allows many websites you probably like to use, to exist in the first place.
No one here is inherently evil or owns you, because they can show you relevant marketing.
Most satanists are actually atheists (they don’t believe god or satan exist), but they do it to have a community that has its own traditions and for the lulz.
I think hospital bombings on both sides must always be taken with a grain of salt… because if you are in a war and are highly unethical; where is the best place to operate a military base from, if you want to protect it from bombings?
