I understand they use adverts, but that doesn’t mean they need to know everything about me.
As DuckDuckGo put it, they display adverts by displaying relevant ads based on searches. You searched for a car? They display car adverts. You searched for a book? They display adverts for a new novel.
They don’t need a track of and psychological analysis of every person’s habits.
Yeah I can’t imagine I would have hit accept myself but can’t think of any other reason I’m not seeing that. Definitely not getting any argument from me about tracking though - I don’t know why anyone is okay with it.
The fucking Guardian, of all papers, is partially paywalled now. Either you give up your privacy, or you hand over money.
Any chance anyone has a workaround so I can read this?
Hm weird I’m not getting a paywall. Just the same plea for subscribing that you can dismiss.
This is what I got. Pay or give up your privacy.

Wow. I wonder if that’s only being rolled out in the UK at the moment? Definitely don’t get it here in Australia.
Maybe. They initially did it just in the app, so I removed it. But now it’s via browser as well.
