    Google is really damned if they do, damned if they don’t here. Third party cookies are very privacy invasive, but replacing it with Chrome watching everything you do and acting as an ad broker is also not great. As long as Google is providing targeted advertising (which you could opt out of in privacy sandbox) then there’s not a really great solution.

    I do think they dragged this along enough that all sites now operate properly with third party cookies disabled, so that’s a benefit at least.











  • Won’t this push it past the 100 day extension period congress did authorize in the original bill that was signed into law? Even if Trump said he won’t enforce the fine for Google, Apple, and Oracle for distributing the app, Democrats should make it clear they will go after those companies once Trump no longer controls the DoJ.





  • I guess it depends on the company and their policies. I’ve been an admin in Google Workspace, and it’s almost hard to avoid seeing some of the reports of the metadata of external incoming and outgoing email.

    I remember we even had a rule for external emails with a name that employee name. This was mostly to identify and block scammers impersonating the CEO, but would also inadvertently catch a whole bunch of other weird stuff people were doing as well, but that was mostly someone setting up a shadow IT service that would send email with the name of an employee, which we’d then have to chase and figure out.

    I’m less familiar with the MDM software running on laptops, it’s possible that each file copied to a thumb drive is logged, so that is totally a risk, but i imagine it would be harder to detect if that’s a common thing that people do at the org.
