This. Your data is already a currency. By visiting and consuming content you’re effectively paying for that content with whatever data they’re collecting.

- Igor_Wiwi 7y agothis is the point, if you are already paying (implicitly) for using the different services, make me the one who can control it and give me the choice to opt out if I don't want to do it
- JustSomeNobody 7y agoYou do have that control. Find an alternative service provider. Don’t like gmail? Choose fastmail.
