#Developers Must Beware of #Ad Libraries that Betray Users’ #Privacy

SAN FRANCISCO – Some software development kits (SDKs) provided by #advertising companies to help developers #monetize their apps are automatically feeding users’ #location data into systems that location #databrokers use to track people, an Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) report found.

#Alphabet plans to nearly double its #AIinvestment to $180 billion in 2026, up from 2025 levels, with Google facing a $240 billion cloud backlog. Despite the eye-watering spending, the company has real revenue to back its words: cloud revenue grew 50% to $17.7 billion in Q4 2025. Unlike rivals, Google's #fullstack approach gives it #uniquelevers to #monetize #AI. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/alphabet-is-doubling-its-capital-expenditure-to-a-staggering-usd180-billion-in-2026-earnings-suggest-that-the-companys-ai-investments-may-be-paying-off?Pirates.BZ #Pirates #Tech #Startup #News

#Corruption is the culmination of unbridled #capitalism that seeks to #monetize everything, including principles. It's an #economy where everything and everyone has their #price.

I think the one thing you have to be aware of in regards to denizens of the #fediverse is that they are verily fatigued by large commercial platforms because of the #ads, the predatory #algorithms, #darkdesignpatterns, #tracking all stemming from the need to #monetize.

Each of those points are important because something's shouldn't be monetized, like #databrokering.

That's why I am suggesting client side algorithmic discovery, or a private and safe alt.

Unlocking TikTok Revenue: How to Monetize Without the TikTok Shop or Creativity Fund in Uganda

So besides sheitposting, here's a take: the #fediverse should find ways to ethically #monetize content.

Here's the thing: trading services and products is not exclusively the domain of #capitalism. Trading and the arts have existed for as long as society has.

What I want to see if that platforms like #Pixelfed and #PeerTube can in some way become monetizable by the user, if only via a Patreon integration or some form of direct payment option that can officially share revenue between the parts.

“I am watching films that were made for TCL, the largest #TV manufacturer on Earth as part of a pilot program designed to normalize #AI movies and TV shows for an audience that it plans to #monetize explicitly with targeted #advertising and whose internal data suggests that the people who watch its free television streaming network are too lazy to change the channel.”

@GamingNews I have a #ConspiracyTheory on why they do this: They have plans to #monetize the game. They already hinted at that by saying the game will be *initially* free. 🤡
Monetizing such a simple game only works if they eliminate all competition without mercy. If there is any free clone or variant around, they don't have a monopoly. Which is good for us but bad for #NYT. #Copyright as a weapon.

"Sorry, Internet, you're only allowed to have NYT's proprietary Wordle. No creativity allowed."

@dabertime Good one 👏
Another thought I’ve had about email is how has it survived for so long as a free transaction?

Do you have any suggestions on where to easily sell a domain? 💡
It would be due in a couple of days. 🗓️
I have found many sites online, but I would like some advice from someone who has actually sold their domain successfully. 🙏

@YurkshireLad Who'd have thought a toothbrush would need to be on the Internet?
I can see some benefit from having an app track your brushing habits. What's hard to fathom is why it also needs to be on the internet and not just communicate with, say, your phone.
The answer, no doubt, is because it's easier to #monetize if it's actually connected to company servers somewhere. #enshittification in action.

It's all Google's fault for making people write endless crap just to cram as many seemingly relevant #keywords as they can so they can better #monetize their #content.
