A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't like the concept of basic internet usage becoming a "know your customer" situation. If they advance this crap, they are just setting up future framework for a social credit score system. It should be very telling that your privacy is an expendable commodity to both major parties.

That's true, although it seems like it's not quite as transparent to institutional users and politicised as that implies.
