alt Hacker Newsthis seems inappropriate. I think its a bad paradigm that just because you use a platform's service, they get intimate details about your usage. And for them to be so bold about publishing the statistics they've stolen from their customers data? Gives me a reason to never recommend my org use this platform.

I’d rather it was published for free in a blog post than sold without my knowledge. As a linear user. This shit doesn’t matter, everyone in the industry know these kinds of stats are being tracked, I’m happy for a company to be transparent about it.

Uhh that's how a lot of economic data works too. Guess how we get a lot of jobs data... ADP

The data is aggregated, and you cannot possibly identify a single user from what's been published. I see no issue here.
