The whole article’s a great read, but here’s a fun excerpt=
To be perfectly blunt, AI girlfriends are not your friends. Although they are marketed as something that will enhance your mental health and well-being, they specialize in delivering dependency, loneliness, and toxicity, all while prying as much data as possible from you.” --Misha Rykov, Researcher @ *Privacy Not Included
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

I assume they’re going to use the Fakespot tech in a privacy respecting way, which is why it’s taking so long to add the Fakespot features

Can you give me a source for the privacy policy being updated? I’m curious.

Their privacy policy doesn’t seem to state that they sell your data? Only that they use it for anonymous statistics and advertising directly to you (ie. Emails). Please correct me if I’m wrong.
And their privacy policy seems more specific than the last time I read it, right when they were acquired.

First day on the internet?
I’m wondering the same, the people thinking about what they share are a small minority.
This was always the case when it finally got mainstream and it only got worse from there.
I recently went on instagram and Facebook, holy moly do people share a lot. Who the hell cares where you’ve been or had for breakfast
