Third: Reportedly, Google has tapped into Reddit as a data hub for person to person interaction.
There has also been some interesting reporting of hidden 'community score' metrics which are attached to user accounts being discussed. Here's one comment linking to several discussions.
I overwrote all my posts with that automated thing and they put them back and sent me a dm about it.
I meed to try again.
The deal with Gargle has been in place a long time. Ifa user triesto access the site with any other briwser, a pop up suggests the app or chrome.
But of course our elected officials came from the era of hand crank wooden phones on the wall and asking for an operator, so I might have to start a tech company myself with all these no rules and regs in the way. Cmon in and help yourselves to our citizen's data.
