SAN FRANCISCO — Google has agreed to settle a $5 billion privacy lawsuit alleging that it spied on people who used the “incognito” mode in its Chrome browser - along with similar “private” modes in other browsers - to track their internet use.

I bet they sell it and such for more than what they just “paid”. Especially when FBI et al will pay a good bit for such “legal” spying, even before you get into using the same data for AI and algorithms. So like how many ways can they profit off that data? 🤔

@thendrix They could make cyber stalkers blackmail politicians and have it all automated. It's free real estate. Dystopian hellscape is the negative view of an exciting new market filled with new opportunities. Invest today!

The rotating door for Big Tech / Whitehouse is one of the main reasons to also disband the DNC and saw Big Tech corps in half. Just look at the bang-up job people from Google and Facebook did as political appointments. They helped fix 2020 to get their people in government.

@thendrix Anything is legal as long as one pays the government their blood money. A fission weapon in a gold reserve was possibly the best Bond movie plot.
