Weird that people argue about this. If the value of a company is being talked about, then stocks is what people generally refer to. Now, if you’d specify and talk about some other value, then sure, but if only “value” is being mentioned I see no reason to think it would mean something else than stocks.
Good breakdown on this in arstechnica:

In a statement emailed to Ars Technica, Cox Media Group said that its advertising tools include “third-party vendor products powered by data sets sourced from users by various social media and other applications then packaged and resold to data servicers.” The statement continues:
Advertising data based on voice and other data is collected by these platforms and devices under the terms and conditions provided by those apps and accepted by their users, and can then be sold to third-party companies and converted into anonymized information for advertisers. This anonymized data then is resold by numerous advertising companies.
The company added that it does not “listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement” and “regret[s] any confusion.”
Big corporations doing shady shit fucking over (or buying out) small companies trying to fix the shady shit to make the lives of the customers of said big business a bit easier.
Not sure what to say. Seems like the standard nowadays.
Would you look at that, nice.
Sure, but you could have a setting which allows sexualised content to be accessed or showed. Or just a popup when entering the stream like it already does with mature streams or whatever they’re called. You can have the streams only visible to people logged in, have people put their age on the account when making it (not sure if already a thing) and not show this stuff to people under 18. Yes you can just say you’re 18 but in that case the kids do it deliberately and won’t just stumble upon it. Have the parents do an underage account for them. Lots of options, and yes, the parents do have responsibility as well.
Oh no, almost visible tits!? Nono we can’t have that, it’ll morally bankrupt our audience.
Edit: apparently they’re more lenient as long as it is properly tagged. Nice.
And nothing of value is lost. Good riddance.
That’s not really how they work, or that is not the only way. Their point is to put the logo, slogans, company etc into your memory. This way when you’re shopping for something specific, then the brand pops out to you because you’ve seen it and it gives you a sense of familiarity and hence, higher trust.
No idea, sorry.
Lmao what the fuck Plex.
Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to have this thing be opt out instead of opt in? Well actually, I’m sure they realised that nobody would opt in because nobody fucking wants this garbage. So the only option is to make it opt out, right guys?
It was fun to watch though. Sad it is over.
I mean, I get why people would not like this but it is a value proposition. They think a random OpenAI employee is much more valuable than a some Microsoft employees. Hence, they’d rather boot specific Microsoft employees and hire OpenAI people instead.
Yeah. Had this been an article I would’ve read / skimmed it. A video? Fuck that.
Wanna bet it has something to do with shoving more ads into our eyeballs? No, no, let me rephrase that: wanna bet it has everything to do with shoving more ads into our eyeballs?
I doubt that’s how the password is used for. More like they copy all contents of the phone and ask the password to go through encryption. The data is already there, accounts don’t matter.
This is also the reason why it’s no good to have a dead man’s switch or the like, as in a certain password just wipes everything. You’d just get arrested for destroying evidence and they continue from a copy.
