I think personal attitudes toward collection of one’s personal data are orthogonal to the issue here, which is the weaponization of data collected in the aggregate. This is why I believe that personal boycotts of Facebook and the like, while responsible on an individual level, represent a slow and inefficient way of stopping the corruptible dynamics of large-scale data-collection ad model companies like FB. Regulation and accountability would be more effective. I know both of those words are four-letter words in the modern tech world zeitgeist.
