      Per @HarshilShah1910, not quite "tracking you" – just that Uber fingerprinted devices so it could know it was you between deletespic.twitter.com/pyOj57gWtG

          Pretty much every free email app/service that doesn't have a paid version does this with user data.

          Right, Gmail does this too. But it's kinda interesting to see how egregious it is in action

          This isn't really a surprise, but more a sobering reality: anything that does something for you for free in exchange for data *will* sell it

          Same with free VPNs that sell app usage data

          Where did the internet go completely wrong? I remember how excited we were when website counters were invented.

          My old website still has its parody of site counters. I can still feel that naive enthusiasm for the web. It was gonna be great!pic.twitter.com/MxiTVMkbW4

          Google sells access *to* you, not information *about* you. *Not* selling what they have on you is what forces others to pay them for access.
