Am I missing something here? I understand the "The IAB loves tracking users." part of the title, but where is the part about "But it hates users tracking them."? Based on the title, I would have expected an exception in their standard for themselves, or a story about how their own user tracking technology was used against them.
However, there is none of that. Just that the IAB does not want to make it easier for users to escape their tracking (which, given their purpose, is unfortunately entirely expected). What justifies "But it hates users tracking them."?
> I recently discovered a big cache - in terms of file number, 6000 files - of basically every edit I did in the last 6 months in VS Code - called Local History.
Isn't this a feature? I wouldn't want my editor to remove my local history without me knowing. I frequently use this local history (in Intellij), for whatever reason (it's easier than git, the project doesn't have version control, I haven't committed yet, ...)
- There an option to compress images before uploading (which is probably on by default). Not unreasonable.
- Content is deleted if you do not access Google Photos in any way during two years AND do not have a paid storage plan. Not unreasonable.
- If you use more storage than you pay for during two years, content will be deleted. Again, not unreasonable.
I really do no get the complaint here.
