Write your take first — we'll ask for email only when you're ready to publish.

  • Hacker News
  • yup, since 9/11
  • Yes, likely because people have stopped caring about privacy, or perhaps given up.

    To gain a bit of convenience, they are voluntarily sending their emails, credit card statements, calendars, location history, etc. to third parties and giving bots admin-level access to their computers.

    This would have been unimaginable decades ago, and it is still dangerous (both individually and collectively ...).
