Google prioritizing profits over the privacy of its users? Colour be shocked.
Seriously thought, is there anything at all that they do not prioritize over the privacy of its users at this point?

I feel like Google would tell you the same thing if asked.
Don’t be evil -

Bro... Nowadays if you don't permit fingerprinting half the internet just does not work.
It has been like this for a few years. But you don't really see it until you try to resist.
This behaviour is Harvey Weinstein vibes... But somehow people got conditioned that this is acceptable behaviour because corporate is doing and you agreed in the ToS that Sundar the creep can fuck your wife.
You wouldn't want to breach terms of this law full contract now, boy, would you?!

Maybe if they reframe the headline: "Shock: One of the worlds richest companies chooses to make money rather than respec... Oh nevermind i see it now"

I don't know what half of the internet you use but my shit works perfectly fine when using ad blockers (which I assume also blocks fingerprinting?)

ad blocking in of itself does not block finger printing.

Just a slight positive spin on this.
I mean, I get it. Just like all of you I read this headline and say, no shit.But its good these articles are out there. Its not for you and me. It's for the average person who doesn't think about this and is blissfully unaware.
Yeah, I can argue they should care and all that, but that's pointless. This is a sign that the average person is becoming more aware, and the status quo can change.
We all have those friends and family that we wish would...just do things differently. Maybe they will now, or soon.
Just think, wouldn't it be great if your "arguments" with your family are over messaging each other over SimpleX instead of Signal?

The point is that while there are definitely downsides, there are also fairly painless ways to use fingerprint blocking on reputable browsers, and that it doesn't "break half the internet" it just might have a slight learning curve. Just because something isn't just plug it in and forget doesn't mean it doesn't work or isn't accessible.

They're a publicly-traded company.
All of them, without any exceptions, place profit above literally anything.
We need a new system where profit is generated by the good you do in this world. I fucking hate the current system.

Yep, totally agree - it's just getting awareness up.
When I start explaining this to friends & family they give me the same blank look that I gave them when they talk about nutrition & exercise...

It all works fine for me with ad/ tracking blockers, browser based blockers, noscript, ublock origin, etc, even geoip blocking for anything inbound
I guess I use different sites...
