  Data brokers do exist… Who they buy from is the only privacy they respect. You know, capitalism.

    So by that logic we shouldn’t be downloading any precompiled binaries from the net - they could all be spying on us!

      a binary and a kernel module are not the same. And I was talking about business practices that are known. But nevermind, that was before I understood you are just trolling. Now I wish a wonderful reddit experience.

        Not trolling at all. I’m a game developer, so I was curious to hear about instances of game devs using kernel level anticheat to harvest people’s personal (and identifiable) data to sell to data brokers.

        Glad to know there aren’t any examples of it outside of people screaming about capitalism - which is, let’s be honest, quite indicative of the Lemmy experience these days.
