Microsoft nepobaby recreated Honey, complete with all its slimy privacy and linkjacking practices, just under new brand name
Anyone who uses Brave browser: they got caught doing this shit
There are also plenty of other good reasons to not support the company behind Brave. Unfortunately, however, I don’t think that’s going to change the mind of anyone who uses it.
Apple… Tree. Not far.
They’re monsters! Cookie monsters!
I wouldn’t expect less from the Epstein class
Once the issue was flagged to Phia, a spokesperson told Bloomberg that all necessary changes had been made to fix the issue.
This wasn’t an “issue”, nor have they “fixed” anything. Phia’s code was specifically and deliberately designed to steal commissions. Now that they’ve been caught they’ll will generously take out their malicious code and stop their thievery.
Slow clap…
Once the policeman pointed out the issue of John taking things from other people’s houses without paying for them, John made nessecary changes to fix the issue.
Of course, he wasn’t arrested for theft, nor were the previously taken items returned, because it was only a technical issue which was quickly resolved.
Can you imagine what would happen to an individual who engineered something like this? They’d be arrested and marched off in handcuffs.
Corporations are legal persons except when it comes to criminal activity. For that they’re pretty much untouchable.
they’ll will generously take out their malicious code and stop their thievery.
I think you’re being too generous, they likely changed a flag to disable this temporarily, so they can hide from the current news cycle and attention, while also watching what happens with the Honey lawsuits, before turning this back on.
She gets the guillotine too.
What the fuck is with rich people? It’s like the richer they get, the more they want to lie, cheat, and steal to get more.
Rich people lie, steal and cheat less than poor people.
If that were true then the rich would be poor and the poor would be rich…
Lmao how’s that boot taste?
Wage theft is consistently the single largest form of theft in the US, coming in at around $50 BILLION every year

How many billionaires you know who got arrested for holding up a 7/11? Checkmate atheists
the rich and poor alike are not allowed to sleep under bridges, steal bread, etc. …
How many poor people flew on the Lolita express?
Turns out the only poor people on that plane were the victims.
I think you mean rich people get caught less and/or face consequences less than poor people.
Oh look! A class traitor! How does that boot taste? Or are you just deepthroating it?
I don’t know about that, just in this example here, there would be hundreds of thefts per day from the website. A poor person could barely manage a fraction of that
Couldn’t even do theft in an original way, had to steal that too
Who do you think she learned that from?
Steve Jobs.
That’s what capitalists and their bootlickers do. They only give credit in blame shifting.
I wouldn’t expect nor accept any less. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree of greed.

That’s wrong?
EVERYONE is doing this. Not that I support it, but I’m surprised it still works.
Email clients do it, Reddit does it, tons of apps, even different browsers. I think at one point Microsoft was doing it in Edge (or was that only discount code stuffing?). Affiliate link and cookie rewriting is everywhere.
ETA:
Phia would override the referral codes from other affiliates and instead inject its own, allowing it to take credit for and potentially receive a commission on a purchase it didn’t earn.
Just to be clear, if you post a link on Reddit, Reddit rewrites the it to add their own affiliate links. Microsoft does this. Chat apps do it. It’s not a secret.
I should add “that’s wrong” is tongue in cheek. Obviously it’s wrong. My point is the rubicon has been crossed so many times it’s fucking ridiculous.
