Salamendacious@lemmy.world 8 months agoAre you referring to privacy concerns or something else. Because when I think of the word botnet I think of DDoS attacks. Do you think Google’s doing something like that?

I mean that’s what we want right? To be able to opt in consensually. What do you think pays for Gmail, Google maps, YouTube, etc all the “free” services that most of us use every day?

Some company somewhere has a file with your web history, likes and dislikes, etc saved in it. A credit card company or Facebook definitely have one. Facebook specializes in creating profiles of people who either don’t have or deleted their Facebook accounts. Apparently Facebook sells that data too advertisers as “harder to reach.” Don’t use Google, or Android, or anything other thing you don’t want but don’t think you’re actually anonymous.
