**"A joint investigation by Vice News and PCMag in January 2020 revealed that Jumpshot was selling the highly sensitive web browsing data to companies, including Google, Yelp, Microsoft, Home Depot, and consulting giant McKinsey. The reports found Jumpshot was also selling access to its users’ click data, including the specific web links that its users were clicking on.

At the time, Avast had more than 430 million active users worldwide. Jumpshot said it had access to data from 100 million devices.

Avast shuttered its Jumpshot subsidiary days following the joint Vice-PCMag report."**

old outdated news

when buying isn’t owning, downloading isn’t theft

Imagine the grocery bill!

No one from any of the police supervisors or chief of police thought to ask why “In 2023, Wood made 69 DUI arrests. That’s twice as many (31) as the rest of the Commerce Police Department combined”. no one noticed? this is a completely corrupt force in commerce and they should all be dismissed, sued, and charged.

Imagine purposefully giving a mewling quim like JACK direct access to your data ever again, just to sell it all to Elon Musk, again, again. People are in fact, sheep.

sure, but in the case of gawker, it wasn’t a slapp, and they won, and gawker was ruined, their entire staff laid off, and sold off for pennies

well, no, gawker did themselves no favors by 1) posting a video of another person naked having sex , and then, 2) refusing to take it down when asked to “for journalistic integrity and definitely not salacious ad revenue”

this doesn’t mirror that at all, in the slightest, except it being funded by someone wealthy

these folks are still confused that they have protection under “free speech” arguments anywhere except if being penalized by the government for it. there are no constitutional “free speech” arguments to be made against private companies, who are under no obligation to allow whatever speech they deem hurtful or potentially hurtful to their business.

When it was shown that Zuck was actively undermining American Democracy, without care for consequence, I deleted my Facebook account, have never used it’s messenger, don’t Insta or META anything ever. Same with Twitter, I mean, why would you choose to contribute anything to these monsters … so you can stay in touch with high school friends you never chat, call or speak to?

Imagine after the Twitter debacle, choosing to give a mewling quim like JACK access to your data ever again, lol

you say junk, but someday soon that shits gonna save mark watney’s life

When the likelihood of prosecution and punishment for destroying evidence is less than the bonus they got from amazon for destroying the evidence, it’s an easy choice. There is no law if there is no enforcement.

lol, yeah, and sir kir holding the line vs the antisemitic leftist muslim terrorist supporting hoarde only makes labour more electable with the entire nation

he knows exactly what he’s doing

Ad Blocking is Cyber Security, never ever let anyone convince you differently

My impression is the thing with modern day ad tracking, selling information to spammers, and hackers is, even if you secure your browser tighter than a drum, any one of your browser extensions, which we’ve given permission to read all site data on every site you visit and interact with, could be keeping extensive logs on your activity and selling that away to the highest bidder. Am I understanding that right?

thanks for the tip, i’m already on firefox, but when run it said i had “some protection” for both blocking tracking ads, and blocking invisible trackers, added privacy badgers after reading your post, because why not, and now it says YES for both
