People only care about privacy when it directly affects them.
If we unveiled how the insurance industry is using / mining / buying social data to hike the rates on people they deem as higher risk, you would have a national debate front and center.
As long as it doesn't directly affect them, most people don't care.
- aianus 10y agoThey already base my insurance rates primarily on my age and what's between my legs (something I can't control and never could control at all). No outrage. Mining my social data would be a welcome change, honestly. At least they would be trying to use more data points and be competitive.
