gollark: <@133885827523674112> *You* might not find it directly bad in that way. *Some* people do.Also, I think a few websites do change their prices a bit depending on gathered data from things.
gollark: It's not just the collection of data, it's the correlation/linking of it between many companies/websites/whatever.
gollark: - Price discrimination- Some people just directly dislike the data gathering as a privacy violation- In some cases: can be used by governments to stamp out dissent, etc- Data can often be leaked so random people have access to it too
gollark: It should also not collect other random data.
gollark: It was detected because they *also* run them with internet access, making it an obvious data leak vector.
