  • Google now has the ability to see which lawmakers are talking to which lobbyists at what time thru geolocation. They can scan the contents of their inboxes and know what they are searching for. They can identify family members, associates, and do the same thing with them. They can know the username of any account that is ever signed up to any service using that Gmail address.

    Imagine being a lawmaker and trying to crack down on Google when they know who you’re talking to, where you are going, whay your constituents are saying to you, and what leverage points to squeeze. Even if you’re squeaky clean, is your family, neighbor, etc?

    They might not be doing it now. But they definitely could at any point.













  • I think stellaris is in a bit of a special spot. You note the game is 10 yrs old. They release a dlc about twice a year, and they usually make some kind of minor change or sometimes system overhaul for the base game at the same time. Most games get a little bit of care for maybe a year or two after release. Active development 10 years after if rare. I think they are a bit predatory given some of the pricing, and how they structure things. But this receives much more attention than a skyrim does.
