Definitely not the "nothing to hide" stuff as I'm very pro-privacy.
I have a vague fear of some kind of dystopian situation that arises or is influenced by these huge, accurate data sets. I'm curious if you have more specific qualms with it. My vague fear hasn't kept photos of me off of social media, even though I'm okay being a "weird guy who doesn't take photos" if need be.
I know your username and respect your opinion, maybe the grandparent does as well.
- jacquesm 9y agoI'm not afraid of anything, I just want a modicum of control over who has access to my data and Facebook is one of the companies that I would not trust with anything. Why does there have to be a scenario attached to this? They've shown time and again that they don't give a rats ass about the people whose data they collect. The default is not 'on' when it comes to sharing your data, the default is 'off', and even then it should be grounded in need. As long as I don't see the need there is no other reason that I would need to justify my behavior. On the other hand, there is a very large need for FB to explain its behavior but hardly anybody seems to care. So I'm happy to be the exception.
