I now know I am OFFICIALLY on some sort of watchlist! Yippee!

The list is supposedly not exhaustive, but I recommend everyone to search your plate to see if you’ve been tracked. I worry for the safety of the women who have been searched more than 50 times by the same user.

    Sure. So is your comment.

    Now. What do you think anyone would accomplish with that data point? Because USA Today would have possession of the data point of a presumably-legit tag number being entered into this website.

    Companies do collect data to sell constantly, but I’m just having a hard time trying to make this one work. Like, not everything is a fucking conspiracy, man. Not everything is a bot. Not everything is an ad.

    People get distracted from the real problems by going on and on and on constantly how every single thing is a threat and dangerous.

    And yet… those same people will post public comments that can be collected and sold.

    Sure, sometimes that happens. But USA Today setting this up and collecting data to sell just doesn’t pass the laugh test.

    It’s dumb.
