Putting the burden on users is a very Google thing to do, my dude.

It’s Google. If you are shocked by this, you deserve to be tracked.

That’s simply not true. People can’t be expected to know what’s going on under the hood of services designed specifically to simplify things for non-technical users and conceal what’s under the hood.

This is more about knowing Google is an advertising company and makes money from selling your data. Than it is knowing how the application works and what it does under the covers.

Then don’t allow them to use those services without a license. It’s cars or chemicals all over again.

Are people required to know how their car works?
Do people have to understand chemistry to buy gasoline or mercury thermometers?
plyth@feddit.org 2 months ago
No. However many things are regulated.

No, not really. There are low bars; this isn’t one of them. This is not something I expect average people who aren’t into technology to anticipate. Nerds like me, yeah. But not the public. Though we’re getting to that point.

That’s called victim blaming.
But yeah. I really hope people stop using Google products. Google is evil.

Be an informed consumer or a sorry one. It’s anyone’s choice.
