The complaint claims that Babeland and Good Vibrations websites uses Microsoft's Clarity tracking software to see what visitors searched for and bought.

    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

        Might your day be improved by … A dildo going in and out of an orifice?

          Only if a log of the ins and outs goes directly to Bill Gates’s desk.

      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.

        I don’t think this is inherently a problem, if the data is anonymized.

          Yep, microsoft clarity is pretty useful, if you don’t wanna be tracked, just use an adblocker.

        The day a dildo comes with WiFi and an integrated accelerometer. The vibration function is $7.99/month. For an extra $3.99/month, it extends three inches. I’m not sure why I joke about that, I’m sure it’s already a thing.
