Comment on GitHub user claims Twitch has malware
Prater@lemmy.world 6 months agoI mean they can watch and monitor your activity on their website, and are probably partnered with many other websites to collate data on your interests and beliefs to feed into a chunky advertising algorithm sooooo… But you didn’t want to hear that, did you?

We all know that to a degree, but do you really think they’re in collusion with the US government to jail anyone who mentions it?
I also don’t think the dude gave anywhere near enough information to explain why search engines and browsers should be blocking access to Twitch. They made a lot of claims, but no proof.

Yeah. Just to clarify, I didn’t mean to try to validate conspiracy theories like these and wasn’t suggesting that this guy is right, but that it’s wrong to ignore the large amount of data that closed source applications oftentimes do collect on you.
