A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There is a new method used to calculate the least and most intrusive social media. The social media that collects personal data most might surprise you; I said might.

It might be useful if they had bothered to link to the report they're referencing, or maybe even tell us who made the report.

Those disappearing messages aren't just fun - they're actually helping protect your privacy by not keeping your data around forever.

I highly doubt this is true.

Jesus - they don't even name the report so interested people can search for it. Lame.

Also, least-intrusive doesn't mean most-trustworthy. Just don't use any of them or, if you do, be sure to take all steps at your disposal to not give any personal information to them.
