“The company [Google] claimed that this new API would help combat online fraud and abuse, and that it would do so in a privacy-friendly manner.”
Lied. The word is lied.
The price for privacy and freedom? Eternal Vigilance.
Google will try and try again, so stay watchful everyone.
For now.
Tech companies repeatedly float shit people don't want to see if the reaction is mild enough to actually go through with it.
Then they either wait until it is, or mull over ways to sell this as a good idea to consumers.
It was only 5 years ago TotalBiscuit / John Bain was still railing against the initial spread of microtransactions and DLC fragmentation of games.
And now they are utterly and completely ubiquitous.
Wow.. Good riddance.
But yeah I wonder if this is really the end of it.
How much was that fake news rag got paid to run this bullshit...
