m8 they shared their database with the entire world: https://www.wiz.io/blog/wiz-research-uncovers-exposed-deepse...

"Unintentionally exposed" and "deliberately gave" are two meaningfully different actions, both of which are examples of why much better regulation and legislation of individuals rights over their data are needed.

This is my surprised face -_-

If you're shocked or even the slightest bit surprised, then I can't imagine how blissful your life is to be so unaware about how much corporations are sharing data with each other.

Like, I wholeheartedly expect that if I mention Beyblade toys on Facebook, then the next time I visit Amazon, they'll be suggesting Beyblades even if I've never even searched Amazon for toys, let alone Beyblade.

That's literally Meta's business model, they will happily explain how thats going for them in public investors' calls every few months.

With deepseek and bytedance things are a lot less clear cut.

Things can be shocking (as in: causing indignation or disgust), yet totally unsurprising. In fact, I'd argue that most newsworthy events tend to be both terrible and entirely expected, given incentives and the way the world is set up to work.
