> All in all, a shocking 93.7% of all online trackers are either from Google, Facebook, or Microsoft


This whole thread is horrible and puts HN in a totally different light for me

Google blogs how they try to make it easier for people remove revenge porn (and other bad stuff like doxxing) about themselves from search and help kids not randomly see porn online

Yet here we have techbros complain about omg those bad trackers

I hate google's evil tech stance, especially after they gave themselves permission to scrape the entire web to train their AI (and btw HN is totally silent about it) but revenge porn and doxxing are serious life-altering traumatizing things and happen to people who often have no recourse to deal with it

The nice explanation is zero people bothered to click and read, the less nice explanation is that techbro crowd probably has not as many victims of it than perpetrators, statistically


Yeah as long as they get to control the narrative around how to stay "safe" online stuff like this will be swept under the rug.


Can’t upvote this enough. The doublespeak out of corporations like Google is outrageous.


that right there is what they call a conflict of interest. or what we says down here "speakin out both sides o'yer yap"
