Yeah…I feel like the only reason to use incognito has always been “I don’t want my porn to show up in my search history and this is easier than manual deletion.” It’d be nice if it meant privacy, but the world doesn’t run on nice. :(

Pertinent excerpts:

Verizon handed Poppy’s personal data, including the address on file and phone logs, to a stalker who later directly threatened her and drove to an address armed with a knife.

[the stalker] used a ProtonMail account, not a government email, to make the request, and used the name of a police officer that didn’t actually work for the police department he impersonated, according to court records. Despite those red flags, Verizon still provided the sensitive data to [the stalker].

a Verizon representative told Poppy that the corporation was a victim too.

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Well, yeah, because you haven’t been grinding up hundred dollar bills into each bowl.

With the porn industry, even if you’re on top you’re still getting fucked.

The one I know for sure is new that I use is an AI DJ feature. It plays music in sets it thinks you’ll like, then lets you know when a new set is starting and what it’ll be like; lets you start a new set manually if you don’t like the type of music being played.

As someone who lived alone, when it came out it was nice to have a friendly voice (sounds like a young, 20-something guy), even though fake, to talk to me about my music.

Clearly I need to do research on them, though; I’m out of the loop on their nastiness.

The only reason I even have Hulu is because I pay for Spotify. Otherwise, it’s just not worth the price tag for me.

Spotify, though…raised its price recently, but also gave me new features that I use, so I’m not complaining.
