  I’m fairly certain most of the big name alternative meat products on the market were developed by capitalists and not vegans.

  By any strict definition of the term it’s not considered vegan, that said there are people out there who attempt to debate the matter.

  According to the vegan society’s definition of the term veganism, which is generally considered the go to definition, human breast milk when given with consent is vegan.

  On the other hand while some attempt to debate the matter Honey is not considered vegan according to that definition.

  I feel like more context is needed for those unfamiliar with the article.

  I’m a web developer in a marketing department and agreed UTM tags aren’t really nefarious. We generally use them to track campaigns, and to see the effectiveness of our paid campaigns. (As in how much of a return on investment did we have, are people continuing to traverse the site after hitting the landing page, etc) That said those codes generally don’t give us any info about the user other than what parts of the site you are hitting, (which we can find out through other means anyway). There are tools out there which can give us a creepy amount of data about the users on the site, but UTMs aren’t it.

  Removing them when sending out links is good practice as you probably only really need a fraction of the characters in order to get to the site, so your links are cleaner, you look like less of an idiot, and ironically marketers will end up having cleaner data (I doubt you care about this, but it’s true.)

  That said, if you really want to prevent sites from getting your data when browsing turning off JavaScript in your browser would probably have the biggest impact.

  It’s funny how quickly Lemmy will get nasty on people for asking the wrong questions.

  Not everyone with a contrary viewpoint is a troll, and some people can actually be won over to your perspective with a friendly conversation.
