Microsoft nepobaby recreated Honey, complete with all its slimy privacy and linkjacking practices, just under new brand name
I wouldn’t expect less from the Epstein class
Once the issue was flagged to Phia, a spokesperson told Bloomberg that all necessary changes had been made to fix the issue.
This wasn’t an “issue”, nor have they “fixed” anything. Phia’s code was specifically and deliberately designed to steal commissions. Now that they’ve been caught they’ll will generously take out their malicious code and stop their thievery.
Slow clap…
Once the policeman pointed out the issue of John taking things from other people’s houses without paying for them, John made nessecary changes to fix the issue.
Of course, he wasn’t arrested for theft, nor were the previously taken items returned, because it was only a technical issue which was quickly resolved.
Can you imagine what would happen to an individual who engineered something like this? They’d be arrested and marched off in handcuffs.
Corporations are legal persons except when it comes to criminal activity. For that they’re pretty much untouchable.
Couldn’t even do theft in an original way, had to steal that too
Who do you think she learned that from?
Steve Jobs.
There’s one other important lesson capitalists can learn from Steve Jobs: eat a lot of fruit instead of getting chemotherapy.
And ivermectin. Take lots daily for extra health.
Apple… Tree. Not far.
I wouldn’t expect nor accept any less. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree of greed.

That’s wrong?
EVERYONE is doing this. Not that I support it, but I’m surprised it still works.
Email clients do it, Reddit does it, tons of apps, even different browsers. I think at one point Microsoft was doing it in Edge (or was that only discount code stuffing?). Affiliate link and cookie rewriting is everywhere.
ETA:
Phia would override the referral codes from other affiliates and instead inject its own, allowing it to take credit for and potentially receive a commission on a purchase it didn’t earn.
Just to be clear, if you post a link on Reddit, Reddit rewrites the it to add their own affiliate links. Microsoft does this. Chat apps do it. It’s not a secret.
I should add “that’s wrong” is tongue in cheek. Obviously it’s wrong. My point is the rubicon has been crossed so many times it’s fucking ridiculous.
