The browser also has access to all of your files (at least unless strictly sandboxed). If the browser exposes it to websites isn't that a browser issue instead of a systemd issue?

Like if a browser offered up full unfettered filesystem access without any prompt or consent that'd be a browser issue, not a linux issue, right?

My files don't contain my birth date, or at least not in a format easy to parse without AI.

So... I don't really get your argument. If two pieces of software conspire against my privacy, one to store the data and one to transmit it, why can't I blame them both?
