> Whatever happened to Occam’s razor?

The reaction from people in this thread is the result of occam's razor.

If site is caught doing shady things repeatedly over the years and then another shady thing is revealed. Most likely/simple explanation is that they are doing jet another shady thing.

Same goes for TikTok and Zoom for me.

Not sure what DDG saga you mean, i must have missed that.

LinkedIn's business model is base around surveillance.

DDG's is specifically based around providing services without surveillance.

So if DDG make a mistake I give them the benefit of the doubt because I can see it's in the their interests to fix that.

If LinkedIn make a mistake, based on previous behaviour, I assume that the mistake was getting caught and that another mistake will be announced any time now.

I don't use LinkedIn for this reason.
