do you bitch about companies selling data?


do people realize literally all of your data is being captured and stored by every device you use and every time you step foot in public (or private) spaces...

mother fuckers act like there's something wrong with *gasp ads that are more in line with your interests as supposed to shit you wouldnt care about. derp

also protip: youre using their product for free. how else are they going to make money?

discuss.

Tbh i think society is being held back by obsessing over data privacy

We could do amazing things if we just collected and shared as much data about ourselves as possible

Sell advertising, rather than copy/paste some mystery script tag and expect it to be a magic money button.

I agree with my state of CA. Data created by you is yours. You should have a say in what is done with it.

If YOU are the one selling YOUR data then there's no problem. If someone else is selling your data and not paying you, then they should fuck off.

Nobody watching hentai on some sketchy site full of overlays and popups is going to actually buy it anyway.

Nobody wants to, but the alternative is paywalls, or (even worse) the cable TV model of paywalls and ads.

If I want something I'll look it up.

If I can't find a good deal then, I'll near quite literally forget about it.

If it's something I actually need then I'm likely not being to concerning looking for deals

When the most they can do is target you with ads that you block with an adblocker, you have to ask, "Who cares?"
