The US have been experimenting on these sort of things for quite some time. They recently apologised for injecting Guatemalan detainees with STDs including syphilis https://www.nytimes.com/2010/1...
One can only assume that this science has continued, but in a more clandestine manner.
To be fair microsoft are going in the the right direction when it comes to security. Moving towards a walled garden and with pro-active security tools which are missing in many other operating systems. Most Linux/Mac machines have little or no software to find infections.
Nope, Tesla brought electric cars into the news. A few other companies followed suit. Tesla are leaders in the industry and are responsible for the recent drive to get ecars in the mainstream. Just because they produce less cars doesn't mean they aren't influential.
Better late than never, but when that new 'privacy policy' thing came up it kind of looked like they wanted me to sell my soul to them. I never accepted and don't plan to. I wonder how many other people this scared off.
GDPR is great. And FB tried to avoid protecting people's privacy by moving millions of people's data away from Europe (Ireland). That alone is a red flag.
They are not currently THE global leader. Haven't been since their retired the Shuttle instead of replacing it. Some of the robots they have been sending out have been interesting though. China, Russia and Europe are the big leaders at the moment.
Europe is more democratic than the US. Even the European Council is appointed by elected officials. The US has a distorted presidential electoral college system that allows the person with the least votes to win. And that president gets a veto. Hilarious.
It'll still be an arms race. They'll try and find ways around it. GDPR has shown that strong legislation is probably going to be the best way to prevent this sort of tracking.
Various plugins do a good job of this, but some sort of blocking should be a native optional feature in major browsers. I've already refused to accept the new privacy policy from Facebook as I refuse to let that company turn my data into a product. People let them go to far. There must be an option to choose which companies are not allowed to collect your data, and that's why GDPR is a good thing. Facebook tried to avoid data privacy by moving millions of accounts out of Europe/
Not everyone is allowed to have a custom OS. This is a way to get around this. I installed a Centos VM on my Windows box and within a minute of joining it to the domain I had an IT person asking me why there was a Centos machine on the network. This quite rightly raised a security issue, because they can't just have random machines appearing on the network. However when I installed the WSL nothing came up in that alerting system. So now I can use Linux tools on my machine without registering as another "machine", virtual or otherwise.
I don't care what you want, but I use it so that I can use some nice Linux commands in Windows. For example wget, cloc etc. Those can be installed in native windows, but it's more quicker to install them in the wsl. It's a better version of "command line". Unfortunately I don't get to choose my work OS.

The posted their private info on a public directory, it's their own fault. People need to learn who to use the Internet better.
Try telling that to the folks who are trying to find work to feed and provide medicine their children.

icq, yahoo and aol all had text messages, so does skype
This is the exact reason why Fox News gets away with spouting such nonsense.

What did people do before the bridge and the tunnel?
So glad I never had to choose between two people that stupid in my country's elections.
People with spades said the same about the JCB.
I am Satoshi Nakamoto.
That would be communism
landfills will get bigger because people are throwing away stuff,
Not after Cambridge Analytica and the fact that Facebook moved their servers out of Europe just to avoid privacy rules.
Browse as little as possible. The Internet is a giant data collection tool.

It's not very fair to generalise like that. All countries produce good and bad stuff, including whatever "sh1thole country" you come from.

WSL does this much better than Cygwin.
