Google has agreed to wipe billions of records it collected from over 136 million Americans, users of its Chrome browser, as part of a settlement for a 2020 lawsuit.

      • Step 1: move data from files into a database

      • Step 2: delete files

      • Step 3: press release that we just deleted the files

      • Google, probably

    • Possibly linux

      You laugh but it would be really dumb for this not to happen. They would be held liable and most of the data they collect doesn’t come from incognito

        Sure they will be held liable. Just like everything else they are held liable for.

            That’s the point… so your original statement does not carry much weight.

                Back in my day, we didn’t need it! Sarcasm was much more understood on LUE, Gen[M]ay, SA, and DDRFreak!

                (I haven’t been to these sites in a long time, so please don’t crucify me if they’re shitholes now. Other than DDRFreak. RIP DDRFreak)

      Can they even untrain an IA with a given set of Data?

      “Bard, forget this ever existed”

      “Sure, I’ll make a copy so I won’t forget to forget”
