What is it with these posters who refuse to answer simple questions – to the point where they will follow up with multiple posts to drag the chat away from the original question – and yet they expect people to answer THEIR questions?

They have a way of identifying what someone does on their home computer after driving past specific billboard ads in their car. From memory, it was related to location tracking of users signed into a Yandex app (which most Russians are). Reference to it here. For marketers, this is holy grail territory but the likes of Google have refused to do it, with good reason.
Another feature of their products was capturing full screen recordings of what people did on a web page. You could literally read what they were typing, including credit card details, fully unencrypted. Not sure if that’s still the case, that was maybe 7-8 years ago. Only applies to websites with the tracking script installed but definitely not compliant with data security laws even before GDPR was introduced.

Russian propaganda is clumsy and easy to see through, I dont use it for news and a link to the BBC is just that . They also don't collect information for the authorities or I wont be getting the KGB knocking on my door IOW.Just out of interest, why did you post a link to Yandex? It's not the normal 'go to' search engine for anyone who isn't Russian or promoting their world view?

Last thing I saw Musk say was that some mistakes happen and when found rectified. I found the source for this in the Mirror and its all a bit vague.

What better way to have faith restored in a government, when you're told that mistakes have been made when they didn't need to be? If only they had, y'know, done it properly in the first place.

Thats a snide way of saying you don't understand the issue. If you understand anything about trafficking it requires boots on the ground not "academics at Yale". Looks like a con job, the story has no traction beyond dodgy looking outlets and not even the Guardian will not touch it.

Out of interest, how did you obtain your special understanding of trafficking, greater than my own...?

So, you've watched a film and read something on the internet? That's your understanding of trafficking?Well there is the resent hit Film Sound of freedom.

By the way, I don't assume I'm better informed than you. It's you who asserted that you're better informed than me, and told me that I "don't understand the issue".
