  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.

    To be fair it is in this case the victims is more at fault then not for misusing, misunderstanding and not reading the terms of service or explicate use case.

    Like this would be like getting mad at your doctor for keeping notes over you and sharing them with other doctors. But not your random friends or strangers.

    Incognito mode has said it’s always been local privacy only not that it doesn’t track or record you, nor prevents others from doing so.

    It’s just turning off history basically.

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

  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?

        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.
