LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer. Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history https://browsergate.eu/
Is there anything Microsoft is not doing these days?
Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.
Google has become everything it once pretended to disdain -- an arrogant, sleazy, control-freak monopolist.
Its latest anti-user, anti-competition move will shut down the alternative app marketplaces that Google used to show off as "we're not like Apple" evidence. https://thenewstack.io/f-droid-says-googles-android-developer-verification-plan-is-an-existential-threat-to-alternative-app-stores/
on todays episode of what the actual fuck...
After over a decade of making webcomics, we’ve learned a thing or two.
One: people love to read funny stuff for free on the internet.
Two: You have to peddle your wares sometimes, even if it feels weird.
We post our comics for free but also have to make a living. That's where Patreon helps: Supporters get early comics, BTS content, and the satisfaction of knowing they're keeping us just functional enough to continue drawing instead of getting real jobs.
