Facebook had to pay a $5 billion fine in 2019 after the Federal Trade Commission investigated how it allowed a company called Cambridge Analytica to access users’ personal data.

Sure, pay a fine to the government.

What about restitution or recompense to the people who were personally affected by this?

“This will allow iCIMS to: See and download all your Google Drive files.”

This is interesting as it allows iCIMS to impart some information in addition to simply forwarding your resume. For example, using AI, they likely can give you a Social Credit Score, Carbon Usage Score, whether you’re MAGA, etc. Of course you won’t know that, but the hiring company would. After all, why would Microsoft use an outside company to forward resumes, unless they’re getting more than just the resume?

Google has a long history of enabling questionable oversharing.

That is a bunch of words to say "Google is evil".

For a long time Google was secretly accessing device cameras, and microphones when you landed on their pages. Even if you were not signed into Google.

I don’t have a Facebook or Google account and don’t plan on ever having accounts with either of those two.

Even those that should be better at spotting scams can be taken. In today’s video they reveal how a company sold them some equipment they did not even own and then they delivered the wrong product.
Only luck stopped Linus from sending the $45,000 to the scammers.

BTW this video was viewed in one day almost 1.4 million times!! That is more then many network and cable tv shows these days! It is a NERD channel to boot!
