The new Yahoo Mail privacy policy let’s you KNOW that they will Facebook your ass.
The new Yahoo Mail terms: How we collect and use data.
We’ve updated some of the ways we collect and analyze user data in order to deliver services, content, relevant advertising and abuse protection.
This includes: analyzing content and information when you use our services (including emails, instant messages, posts, photos, attachments, and other communications), linking your activity on other sites and apps with information we have about you, and providing anonymized and/or aggregated reports to other parties regarding user trends.
Sharing Data with Verizon.
Of course they share data with Verizon. Oath (AOL + Yahoo) is owned by Verizon, the next coming of FB. Remember the super-cookie on VZW? It never went away.
I hate they want to read all my email and messages – like FB. It is getting out of hand — and one day soon we will all be using a data locker and sharing with blockchain. No company will get my data unless I specifically allow it.
Unfortunately, it will be 5 years too late. As the carriers and GAFA have all of my data thanks to a Congress that is bought and paid for (and doesn’t understand tech because they are all old white men); no privacy laws; lax security; and greedy MoFo’s running really crappy mega-corporations that are over-leveraged and under-delivering!
I can only hope that the Duopoly collapse underneath their debt load. AT&T will be at $175B. VZ is at $110B. Charter is at $70B. Comcast will add to their $68B in debt when they buy Sky or Fox or both.
How do they pay this off? Consumers will have to pay more for broadband and mobility. I don’t know how they will do that as consumer spending is maxed out. So the Duopoly switch to cost cutting again, service levels drop – but there isn’t much in the way of competition, so they don’t churn much.
The whole deal is to squeeze as much from the lemmings as you can. That isn’t sustainable. That’s why much of the Fortune 500 has changed over the last 20 years. Just look at GE. Even P&G is struggling in this era. Rant over.
