What the actual fuck!
Seriously? My kid still uses the headset… He liked it. Had one way before Facebook/meta took over…way before they forced a Facebook signing thing…
God DAMN I hate modern tech companies.
I still have an electronic RC car from the 70s in my garage from my childhood. I can put in batteries and play with it. The stupid bb8 remote control toy my kid got is obsolete because the servers it needed to work were shutdown…
If corporations would just end their love affair with exchange online and fucking outlook, maybe windows would go away
I used to work for a data broker. The main problem here is that profiles are created and compiled from public data. There aren’t any P.I.s at work here… Just massive amounts of data dumps that anyone could access. If you include PII data like socials, then there are limitations on who can view it… But not really that hard to circumvent. A human could not possibly compile profiles from terrabytes of public data, but our programmers could… And this is the real problem. much of this data was public before current computer logic existed and no one foresaw the huge privacy implications.
For my company, only requests that come from persons living in California were honored…and only the person could request removal, not a 3rd party on behalf of the person. Sux.
And FYI, any searches for certain people would be reported to the authorities… Like if you searched Donald Trump with SSN Inclusion, we had to report it to secret service.

Humans and civilization have only been around 50k years and we are already on the verge of making ourselves extinct
