Unless you think they want your data at the expense of the majority, this doesn't seem relevant. The difference between opt out and opt in is massive, 80% of people don't care or don't read. Your irrational preference here doesn't even register on their charts
- saagarjha 6y ago> 80% of people don't care or don't read I don't think it's "irrational" to suggest that you shouldn't be collecting data from those people as they have clearly not given consent to you doing so.
- NoodleIncident 6y agoI wasn't referring to that, thanks. I was referring to your own irrational willingness to hand over the same data based on how they ask for it. Maybe it is rational; you know they're not getting any useful data with an opt-in, so you'll play along with their incompetency by handing them a single datapoint?
- saagarjha 6y agoIt's the same reason why I would rather want someone who approaches me on the street to ask me for money (which I might give!) rather than just stealing it from me silently and and then offering the option to return it when I ask for it back–of course only if I notice the theft. I take issue with you calling consensual data collection "incompetent".
