The irony of npr.org welcoming me with

"We and our 474 partners store and access personal data, like browsing data or unique identifiers, on your device."

474!!!

Some of those "partners" may be storing your precise geolocation for 12 years: https://x.com/dmitriid/status/1817122117093056541

Not ironic, unfortunate reality. I'm annoyed npr and 474 use personal data for profit. It should be illegal. I'm terrified the government uses personal data without checks on the use case. Especially since it is illegal, and they just don't care about that. Or there's a loophole, or whatever, and they just don't care how The People will react to them using it, which is just as terrifying.
