As @perplexity_ai launches its own browser, recall that its CEO has said that one reason Perplexity is building its own browser is to collect data on everything users do outside of its own app. This so it can sell premium ads. https://t.co/nKOiokp2k3
<so no thx.

Comet is here.
A web browser built for today’s internet.
Just a reminder that Perplexity AI CEO has said that one reason Perplexity is building its own browser is to collect data on everything users do outside of its own app. This so it can sell premium ads.

Perplexity has released an AI-powered web browser. Auditing it for security and privacy won’t be easy — it’s based on Chromium. OpenAI's web browser is also on Chromium. Also, good luck keeping up with timely security updates. Being a browser vendor is no small feat. :)
@Chronotope "Unlocking revenue growth through opaque privacy eroding technology and practice. The #DataVampire Club"
@1Br0wn @Livingstone_S After close to 3 decades in data protection/privacy, honestly, I think it's impossible for non-experts to really understand Google's privacy policy(ies) (cough) .. it's a serious challenge for experts. 'Welcome to my web of obfuscation' whispered the #DataVampire

“Trust me” whispered the #DataVampire
“Let me sponsor your privacy conference”
“Sure you can come to the conference party”
Google not only misled consumers in 2016 but also regulators in Europe, the US, and other regions, who approved Google's DoubleClick acquisition in 2008 after Google told them that it wouldn't be able to merge DoubleClick ad tracking with Google user data.

In new research, Shaoor Munir, Konrad Kollnig, Anastasia Shuba and Zubair Shafi explore how the #DataVampire Google uses its web browser, Chrome, to maintain its dominance in other online markets, particularly advertising and search. https://t.co/AZBalRelZO
#DataVampire complains about action to help prevent individuals being sucked into its web of privacy invasive data practices and the need for individual choice over search engines
Here’s our statement on today’s decision in the DOJ case:
“This decision recognizes that Google offers the best search engine, but concludes that we shouldn’t be allowed to make it easily available. We appreciate the Court’s finding that Google is ‘the industry’s highest quality search engine, which has earned Google the trust of hundreds of millions of daily users,’ that Google ‘has long been the best search engine, particularly on mobile devices,’ ‘has continued to innovate in search’ and that ‘Apple and Mozilla occasionally assess Google’s search quality relative to its rivals and find Google’s to be superior.’ Given this, and that people are increasingly looking for information in more and more ways, we plan to appeal. As this process continues, we will remain focused on making products that people find helpful and easy to use.” – Kent Walker, President, Global Affairs
@PrivaCat And now all we need is for Apple to not default Safari search to Google Search (kind of like opening the door to the world’s biggest #DataVampire) to allow people genuine choice of search engines ;)
I should clarify that the activities occurred between 2016-2019
Gonna put it in the ‘Diaries of a #DataVampire”
2/ shared between multiple actors across multiple borders in real-time. Profiles built.
Even Steve Jobs took issue in 2010 with one #DataVampire, Flurry, that collected device data inc identifiers …

This has FLOURISHED under the watch of regulators
11/ So, Flurry eh. Steve Jibs took issue with Flurry & tracking mobile users back in 2010 https://t.co/6ZuQECfMKr
The company claims it used by 250,000 Developers. Is in 940,000 Apps and 10 Billion Sessions Daily. THAT’s quite a lot of data
Time to test a few things then

And after decades of working in this field, IMO, this privacy eroding #DataVampire infested model has flourished in great part because of a lack of regulatory interest and enforcement action.
We are seeing some regulatory action but not enough to tackle what is a global issue
so sick and tired of these dark patterns in consent management platform tools.
'Reject All' does not reject all. You have to click on legitimate interests and 'object all'.
That this is on the website of a consumer advice centre is just 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️

@Raven80504432 @dmarti @SamsungUK Oh god, Samsung is SUCH a #DataVampire
And their smart TVs….horrific
EPIC's @Iwillleavenow notes that #Threads gathers "a good amount" of data that is "not necessary for the app to function," such as data about users' health, finances, and precise location, which is "used to create a more hyper-personalized experience...or sold to advertisers."
👀 One of these is a new social media app owned by Meta, the other one is where you can find us https://t.co/JSQwDUC7vV

Another, but informative article on the #DataVampire infested web & the role of ad-tech in seriously eroding privacy.
If your browser supports speedreader (as @brave does) you might want to enable it

@pixeldetracking @criteo The irony. "I just couldn't stop myself from helping myself to data about you ..." whispered the #DataVampire

3/ I wonder how @spotify is getting consent for SDKs like Google AdMob .... oh wait, that's right, they're not ...
You really are quite the #DataVampire aren't you @Spotify https://t.co/NyQcaer3I0

Time to revisit my findings on Spotify cos this is not ok. No.

2/ Here's you @Spotify feeding .. you #DataVampire.
I'm looking forward @NOYBeu's investigation into SDKs next year .. I mean look at the SDKs, the analytics and fingerprinting in your Android mobile app.
