What's interesting is how the story completely failed to make the news in the English-speaking net for several days. The story broke on Tuesday (CET), outside Germany it was only picked up by ghacks until now...

Ghacks is shadowbanned on HN for some reason. I vouched for this particular story, but it didn't get traction :(

Could be because of the title: "Your browsing history may have been sold already"
It's not remotely comparable to the situation. "WOT addon is banned from browsers after selling users history to the highest bidder."

Please don't use the word "retarded" as a casual adjective. It's a pejorative term historically used for people with intellectual disabilities. Thanks for understanding.

I don't think I've ever consciously visited their site, so no idea how well ghacks ranks as a source...
The story was curiously absent from HN and any other site I frequent, so I checked Google and as of yesterday it only found ghacks outside the German bubble.
