"The US Patent and Trademark Office made public this week a newly-granted Apple patent. It’s called “Techniques to pollute electronic profiling.” Apple didn’t invent this technology. It was probably invented at Novell. But, according to the patent document, Apple is an “assignee,” which means Apple has the exclusive legal right to use or license the technology. The idea is to foil online data harvesting through misinformation. It’s a method for systematically lying to data-harvesting servers." • #because_fuck_you_thats_why • #конкультура - × × ×
