Lmfao, even USPS is fucking us hard now? Our assholes are stretching too much nowadays.
It was a mistake, they had tracking code on their own website they didn’t understand.
Not that it justifies it tbh, the whole “let’s collect analytics” is cancerous
These mistakes always happen at our expense. Did not facebook get our incomes in similar way from turbotax.
At some point, people start to notice…
so no tax money goes to post office, is it funded from stamps and delivery fees?
edit:
Overview The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) generates nearly all of its funding—about $78.5 billion annually according to the USPS’s most recent financial report—by charging users of the mail for the costs of the services it provides. Congress, however, does provide an annual appropriation—about $50 million in FY2023—to compensate the USPS for revenue it forgoes in providing free mailing privileges to the blind and overseas voters.

No shit, that’s why HelloFresh is sending me ads in my name a week after I moved
Oh snap
I’m not in the tech industry, but should Meta have some kind of obligation to report this to USPS? There’s no way they didn’t realize.
I realize the fine print user agreements (which I’ve noticed have become 3 to 4 separate documents these days – links to other links) exist for “a reason” but I feel like there ought to be a “mandatory to report” such a thing from the corporate end.
I don’t expect the USPS to have the same level of tech guru to combat corporate giant sneakiness
