I believe it has nothing to do with competence, the hostility is pretty clear. IIRC R.hill had similar experience with Chrome Extension Store years ago. Once they want to kill your extension, they start doing this kind of stuff, at the end Google roll out mv3.

Hi Anna, could you please confirm that your server and yourself are not under US jurisdiction?

PRISM slides showing NSA hacked those big corps far more earlier[1], and exploited them for global surveillance. Global.

NSA also hacked Huawei in 2013.[2]

The US companies should be thankful that EU didn't block them.

1. Please ask BEFORE you collect.

2. You can't expect every user to know they are logged, or how it's affecting the user, or know how to disable/delete it, can you?

3. How can I verify that you did delete the data about me instead of just hiding from me for viewing it? Alphabet is not belong to public sector. So the simple answer is I can't. If you want me to trust you, don't use opt-out as default.

4. I'm sure you can tell the differences between those alternatives and Google products.

5. It's not that hard to respect some one's data. First, do not collect it! Second, if you have to collect it, tell the owner why! Third, delete it completely while requested.

6. Aggregated data collection and use without permissions adds potential risks to the society. (Cambridge Analytica)

Edit: And you guys are doing deep learning, that's gonna consume lot's of data. Duplex for example, you use anonymous phone call data to train it. The question is, where does that data even come from? I'd blacklist whoever collected the data, even it's collected anonymously.

Off topic, is there a way to tag all the stakeholders of the main company/government mentioned in title/article?

Great, another piece of "Don't be evil" with a new coat, and they can ditch it whenever they feel powerful enough to ignore society's feedback.

Such statement absolutely relieves the pressure came from the public, hence law makers. Can we make sure big companies are legally accountable for what they claim to the public? Otherwise they can say just whatever persuades people to be less vigilant about what they are doing, which is so deceptive and irresponsible.

    Wow, I can't believe FB was using my data to sell me ads!

I don't know about others, but that naive reaction is definitely not the reaction I have. Selling me ads is acceptable. But using my data without telling me how are you going to use it is considered hostile to me. And, I believe, using aggregate data to research on crowd is dangerous and harmful to the society, even it's anonymous. My personal data is probably only worth a few dimes to them, but aggregate data is not that cheap. Those companies use PII and non-PII to do researches without telling people that they are being researched or how they are being researched or why they are doing it. It's like poeple are lab rats.

No one should have such power without testee's consent. But opt-out empowered them. And the ability to gain insights (with such procedure) on different crowds witch leads to the ability to manipulate the general public makes me nervous.

I don't expect stuff on the internet to be free of charge, but people don't want to pay with money doesn't justify the current business model. You know what is worse? People paid, yet their data is still being collected and used, only less ads.

If what I said is unreasonable or non-sense, please feel free to downvote me, but also please share your thoughts to me. I'd love to change my mind since it's getting really hard to surf the internet these days with my current mindset. It's not the internet I love any more.

I won't call obeying local laws or following host's rules sets precedent. MNCs have been following the local rules since day one. What do you expect?

Would you stop speaking local language because it helps the rulers communicate? Would you stop using the bank notes because it's issued by a dictatorship? You didn't because it's essential to run your business within the country.

The US is your own country, you have obligation to fix it, that's why you stand up against FBI. But not for other countries, they have to fix their own country by themselves.

The author should have provided a tool that identifies names of all different races, then people wouldn't be calling the extension fascist. Because advertising companies are doing the same thing.

You don't have to report anything. Of course you can if you want. You may have heard of the Chaoyang Masses?

Basically following that law is kinda like following the DMCA, you don't know if you are pirating, but if the copyright owner think you are, they'll send you notices, what you can do next is to argue if the contents are legal or just to delete the contents. Though in China it may cost you a fortune if you want to argue if it's legal.

> It is not a vague threat

Well, unless there are people associate normal images and child porn, like someone did to Winnie and Xi. But I don't think it's going to happen widely in the U.S. IMHO, if the Chinese government stop pushing so hard, there will be less cases like insulting their leader metaphorically.

People focus on different priorities. I don't think it's hard to understand. They just care less about privacy. Scaling is more important to them. And your emails can be encrypted on your client side if you want to. Just make sure those encrypted emails aren't so suspicious that they want to crack them.

To me, "not littering" is different from "cleaning up for others". I need an article to explain why the Japanese clean up for others.

How scary is it? I guess the selling point of your idea is actually "anonymous".

Some holders bought bitcoins at $0.1/BTC, now they are spending coins like having a 99% off.

Well, if $0.1/BTC looks too dramatic, fine, let's say they bought at $200/BTC, still, 70% (which was paid off by newcomers if you think about it).

What I'm saying is the prosperity is based on how much profit your users will get, like Groupon (in the early days when they were providing huge discounts). While newcomers now are buying coins at high, how long do you think the prosperity could last?

Not sure if i'm thinking it right. Just wanted to point out.
