A guy sat at his laptop ready to permanently delete his 15-year-old Gmail account.
He was getting 400 spam emails a day. Fake Best Buy receipts. Phishing links from "Netflix." Cryptic extortion threats.
He hovered his mouse over "Delete Account" and sighed: "I just want peace."
His coworker, a former email deliverability engineer, looked over his shoulder.
"Before you nuke 15 years of contacts and data, let me show you something. Your email isn't broken. It's weaponized. There are 22 ways you've been leaving the door wide open. Google won't tell you this because the data collection feeds their entire ad engine. Give me 14 minutes."
Here's what she showed him:
@MadMoneyOnCNBC@jimcramer Imax lost me when they went to digital projection. The resolution just isnโt good enough or anywhere near the old 70mm film.
@thewarzonewire@thewarzonewire it seems like it would make sense to use redundant electric motors on the nacelles and use the turbines to generate power in the fuselage like a combination of diesel locomotive any battery powered quadcopter technologies.
@elonmusk Come on @elonmusk , X doesnโt promote freedom of speechโฆ it is curated to support YOUR ideology and fact checking seems to have gone out the window.
