Another day, another tech company sharing data without explicit permission. Are we even surprised anymore? This is the default setting now, isn't it?
I mean, it's not 'another one bites the dust' if they're just integrating with existing ad networks or data sharing agreements, which is pretty standard practice. Still shitty, but not exactly groundbreaking in the world of online services.
The interesting part is *how* they're sharing. Is it raw query data, aggregated usage stats, or something else entirely? And for what specific purpose? Training models, ad targeting, 'improving user experience'? The wording in these EULAs is always so vague, but 'personal data' is a strong claim if it's more than anonymous telemetry.
Honestly, this is why I stick to direct search or reputable news sources. AI summaries always felt... off. Like, where's this info *really* coming from, and who else is getting a cut?
Who even uses Perplexity anyway? Sounds like a niche thing. Most people just use ChatGPT or Bard.
