So, I’ve been on Lemmy since the great Reddit exodus a couple years ago, and back on Reddit though, there were discussions on Data Poisoning, where since it was nigh unto impossible to keep your data private, people would poison their data with all sorts of extraneous information, so companies couldn’t tell what data was accurate and what wasn’t.

But, here on Lemmy, I haven’t seen any discussions about the topic. Are people still poisoning their data? Why haven’t I seen any discussions about it? Is it still discussed, just not on the instances I’ve seen?

    My company added grammarly onto all our laptops which cannot be permanently disabled. So I have a grammarly suggester widget floating over everything I do on the laptop. I just accept all suggestions no matter how dumb and inappropriate and put garbage in slack conversations, code reviews, etc.
