    I’m seeing a lot of people make arguments like this and I just don’t get it. Is your point that its okay for tech companies to prey on the ignorance of nontechnical users? We can’t expect everyone to know everything about every service they interact with.

      Where did rdyoung say any of this?

      What you just did was put words in his mouth;make a straw man.

      And factually, browsers explain what their respective private/incognito modes do. People assumed they did something else.

      Did these corporations take advantage of that? Yes.

      In the end, these users are as much to blame for using a tool and assuming how it functioned.
