I have received emails about updates to privacy policies from at least 5 companies yesterday. What is going on? Has government done something? Is it a scheduled thing?

Edit- As most companies have started messing with data for AI training, I have proceeded to delete my accounts with them. I should have done this a long time back.

    Because the grifting is more tolerated nowadays. Its like the slow boil of the frog, they kept doing it for years and years, until people got more and more used to it, because we didnt push back enough at the right time.

    So now we deal with this enshittification.

    Personally I think its like a pendulum effect, it will swing back in the other direction, but it will take a long time.

    Choose what you use carefully.
