What I think so many privacy advocates don’t realize while frothing at the mouth is that odds are 99.9999% no one really wants your old photos or data specifically. Surely in large aggregate, but on a macro level you are no more interesting than anyone else. You’re not. You have a delusion of grandeur.
Sure, you might get some targeted ads by data used in aggregate and put you into a group but so what? If I had to see ads, I’d rather them be things I am interested in.
- philipwhiuk 9y agoAh the old nothing to fear argument.
- donatj 9y agoOh, there’s plenty to fear, this just isn’t it. The proliferation of cameras and cellphone tracking hooked to state owned machine learning predicting your decisions - which is publicly happening in China and almost certainly quietly happening everywhere else? Terrifying. Data collection on crap that’s nearly public anyway? Merely a distraction.
