much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Thanks for the clarification - this is actually a lot worse when reading through the article. I hadn't realized they even had a search crawler.
How is that worse?
Because they're not tracking user behavior, they're actively stealing copyrighted content from web pages through the use of an automated crawler. It's actually not so much privacy abuse (bad, but legal in the US to an extent) as it's a violation of copyright law (really bad for the content creators and pretty much illegal everywhere).
So why is it in the privacy sub?
Ask @const_void - I don't work here, I just shitpost.
