FTC says water is wet.

Edit: in all seriousness, it’s good that the FTC is talking about this, and it’ll be even better if it does something to combat it.

Remember, when Western companies violate privacy that is okay.

When non-Western companies do it, that’s bad.

I disagree. It’s bad when anyone does it.
