Why are they doing this and why is it important?
Maybe simply to get better recommendations on their stores?
The tone of the post and the comments make it seem pretty negative. I’m more wondering why it’s a bad thing I guess.
Typical .world dude
Yes let's give more power to the panopticon
I don’t understand. Explain why this bad, it’s a genuine question.
I won't engage in a conversation with an EE (ECE) who walks around privacy@ and yet spouts such a disingenuous inquiry. A guy who has experience in the workforce shouldn't need a wake-up call about bad corporate practices. At least in theory.
Wow, I feel like I was pervy glassed since I've written the text above. You never know when the person next to you is a plain hacker or even an NSA asset lol. And dumb questions can sometimes be social engineering.
I would like to know as well. Maybe they need it to grow? Everyone around me still uses Amazon and Kindles unfortunately and don't even know about Kobos existence until I mention it. Even then people are afraid of change. Or somehow its really hard.

I guess it depends on how much you value your own right to privacy. If you don’t mind being deprived of it, then sure, it’s not important.
