    To be clear: they’re tracking the mouse on the website, not the real time movements of a dildo going in and out of an orifice

      I knew sites used heat maps to see what people click on but I was surprised when our developers showed us actual video of users moving their mouse. I didn’t know that was even a thing.

      Dangerous. Don’t insert things without a flared base or some other appendage for easy removal. That thing looks less like a sex toy and more like a paperweight.

        It’s not an insertable toy, it’s just a novelty vibrator.

    If you’re scared about Microsoft tracking your UX engagement on a website, the best way to make sure your sex life stays private is to file it in federal court.

      I’m pretty sure this person was just looking for a reason to sue, and then tried to construct the most salacious situation to sue about.

      I’m not against them suing, I think web tracking is evil, so more power to them, but I definitely feel like a lawyer helped architect the actual complaint

        Well if she was just looking for any reason to sue, well congrats to her then. She stumbled across a really good one.

    This doesn’t have much to do with Microsoft. They simply used their software. Microsoft wasn’t responsible at all for this. It was the websites

    It seems the age of click bait has arrived at lemmy
