Some users are reporting that they are unable to post today’s
big story about a security breach affecting 50 million
Facebook users. The issue appears to only affect particular
stories from certain outlets, at this time one story from The
Guardian and one from the Associated Press, both reputable
press outlets.

illegitimate, in this case calling it spam.

IMO, options like ProtonMail are much better. A service that isn't free but doesn't exploit users in order to make $$ ought to be a better option.
Yesterday, news broke that Google has been stealth
downloading audio listeners onto every computer that runs
Chrome, and transmits audio data back to Google. Effectively,
this means that Google had taken itself the right to listen
to every conversation in every room that runs Chrome

eavesdropped on. In official statements, Google shrugged off
the practice with what amounts to “we can do that”.

Illness was punished as a misdemeanour by the company. I took
a day off sick and was given a point for it – despite
notifying Amazon several hours before the start of my shift
that I was ill and offering to provide a note from the
doctor. When I returned to work I asked an Amazon manager how
they could justify such a policy, which effectively punished
people for being ill. “It’s what Amazon have always done,” he
replied blandly.- The Tao of tmux [0]

No. That amounts to choosing the default for the majority and diverting majority to a particular search engine.
In the near future, Firefox will — by default — protect users
by blocking tracking while also offering a clear set of
controls to give our users more choice over what information
they share with sites.

When I worked at Amazon we had to run around the warehouse, bc
if our pick rate fell below a certain number we stopped getting
paid. There were bottles & bins full of piss at odd points, bc
you were penalised for toilet breaks. A co-worker attempted
suicide on-site bc of the stress
If this isn't exploitation, I'm not sure what it would be.

Android apps can track a user's location and glean potentially
private, personal information – such as where you work or live
– just by monitoring the internal sensors. More importantly,
they can do this without ever needing access to a device's GPS
or Wi-Fi permissions.
