…Basically, all our data on Basecamp could have been shared with Google, Inc., and we had no clue. Looking forward to @basecamp’s reply.
…(And this is a beautiful example of the viral nature of building our basic tech infrastructures on surveillance capitalism.)
…(The only reason I even know about this is because @basecamp released a Mac app that’s running on *my* machine, where I have more control.)
@aral @jasonfried The custom search engine is used for our help site, with our own content. Never user content.
@dhh Makes sense, thanks. Would have been hugely surprised otherwise. Good to know I get to keep some of my heroes, at least :) +@jasonfried
