  "Legal" doesn't immediately mean "moral". Everything is legal as long as there isn't a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

  Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You're forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
  Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

  I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore...

  Here's a fun suggestion, how about you unlock the desired players by playing the game? Could even put it into an immersive context, you beat brazil and subsequently unlock their players for your team.

  What's so fun about buying a chance to get your player? Is it possibly the shiny colors and the happy soundeffects that are specifically designed to make your brain addicted?

  This is only the pilot and they're trying to get the series greenlit.

  Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
  But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that's just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

  So this animation randomly exploded and made it's way onto my frontpage.

  I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I'd share it with the fediverse.

  To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called "Glitch" and the creator called "Gooseworx" had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!

  Agreed, this is basically nonsense.
  How does it have >500 upvotes? O.o

  It's a green text from 4chan.
  Don't go there yourself, it's a bad place. Just wait for the funny fake stories to make their way over here, that way you filter out the worst offenders.
