Why?...
#Firefox joins the dark side, adds #TOS that claims rights to all user uploads and inputs
The wording is fuzzy enough to raise alarms, as it’s unclear what data that actually covers, potentially including #personalinfo, saved #passwords, and #browsinghistory.

#Socialnetwork, #ecommerce #platforms shld also bear losses of scams
"Anyone who clicks on ad for sales of products placed on Facebook, Google, IG or anywhere else shld be assured tt it's been verified. There's no reason why #BigTech shld be allowed to make billions fr content they don’t vet. They're already free to #monetise our #personalinfo & bombard us w unwanted content.. platforms hv e means to stop it now. If they don't, they shld be forced by law"

Removing one’s DNA information from 23andMe before their failure exposes all that data is a good idea.

Also a good idea to ask every family member who may have used the service to do so too.

Easy enough to identify the last #request as a link I didn't want. They have 0 posts, 12 followers, and they are following 70 people. There is no #personalinfo except to say they are an orthopedic surgeon in the USA. And I am a Canadian writer, so I wonder - could this be a real request? Nah! Not only does this not seem to be a #realperson but if you have zero #posts I am not interested.
