    Some people just have other priorities. As soon as you start moral grandstanding like this you better check your squeaky clean because I bet there’s something like this that can be said about you.

      Hey, if we don’t let people in glass houses throw stones, then we’ll still end up with too many glass houses.

            I support the improvements in advertising, UX, and design innovation that data collection yields, and I reject utterly that it is an “invasion of privacy” with the same enthusiasm as I reject “keeping your money in banks is for suckers” and “the government tracks you through your phone”

            Fears of data collection are conspiracy-driven and not grounded in reality. No one is upset about Nielsen “harvesting” TV data, as an obvious example.

              Nielsen never actually knew what you were watching though. They had to take your word for it. The comparison would be if Nielsen had trackers on your eyes and cameras and microphones in your house. I do agree most concerns about data collection are overblown, but that doesn’t mean opening yourself up to any and all data collection is wise. And to act like there’s never an issue of companies taking your data for ill is laughably naïve IMO. If nothing else, unnecessarily sharing personal data exposes you as a larger target for things like identify theft.

                I’m not really concerned with identity theft either, having worked in the credit/finance sector.

                  I’m a security professional too and you’re just yelling against an idealogy. These people want to be angry at big tech, they don’t understand the privacy concerns at all. Most of them still talk about Alexa spying on you.

      Another data leaks trap. It’s like Zuck is saying, “Come here, so I can get more data from you guys.”

      Every policy about data collection is mandatory for users, with no difference from just setting it without asking.

        Nobody cares. I don’t care about targeted ads. It’s fucking ads, not death by firing squads.

    It’s silly watching people like you who just scream over “big tech” blow any chance of normies listening to you. You do more damage then good.
