Does anybody with a STRONG BACKGROUND IN WEBSITE PRIVACY have time to vet this research? Are TikTok and Meta pixels REALLY doing the things claimed? I'm concerned it may be overstating things in an attempt to sell its tag monitoring tools.

If I hear one more person say that Beyonce isn't a real country singer/song writer and should stay in her own RnB/hip-hop lane I'm going to lose it.

I've been thinking a lot about the wide-spread anthropomorphism of LLMs in research, news articles and everyday conversations. I understand why it's problematic, but I wonder: why hasn't there been similar pushback on the decades-long practice of anthropomorphizing computers and software in general? It's common these days, for instance for people to say malware "tricks" an OS into doing stuff. Plenty of other examples as well. Why is one bad and the other OK?
