status, net worth. They're collecting what you post on social media, whether you're behind on your bills, what you order online. And they're using the information to predict how much your health care could cost them.

That doesn't seem entirely manual at all. Some of it is though.

You really not understand why the government collecting private data on you is a more serious issue?

But it isn't.

Not only are private companies unaccountable (unlike government where you have somewhat of a say) but they influence government as well via lobbying

The good thing about watching The Lion King on VHS is that it can't tell insurers and employers that I rewatched the "bedroom eyes" scene three times. :v

What are ways they collect data on you besides social media? I don't have any of that that has my real name and stuff. And do they have to be transparent about how they determined your rates prices?

Not only are private companies unaccountable (unlike government where you have somewhat of a say) but they influence government as well via lobbying


But the government has significantly more power with what they can do with that information than some private entity. And if private entities influences government policy, then thats even more reason to be skeptical about giving more private data to the government, because then corporations can more easily access such information because they will influence the government to make that data more readily accessible.

Yeah that's a good point.
I think we can agree that either one having your private data is probably bad
