Today's tiny blip in the Surveillance Capitalism hellscape is Google sending me an email that reads:
"Heeey, just to let you know, we're scraping your phone number and saving it to your account so that people can just call you, okay?"
The email has the instructions to disable this (presumably after they've already done it anyways, lmao) and.... yeah, I miss not hating all of computers
