In my anecdotical experience, that's not remotely true. Yes there is a disconnect between techies and regular people, in that for us it's obvious that these companies are harvesting all this data and processing it in all this ways and sharing it with all these people, but for the majority of people it's not. Even for you, do you think you fully understand how your data is being utilised and what the consequences are?
- moduspol 6y agoI think we've been repeatedly shown that people don't care. From Cambridge Analytica, to what Snowden shared, to voice-based assistants (like Amazon Alexa), every instance is met with feigned surprise and then a collective shoulder shrug. > Even for you, do you think you fully understand how your data is being utilised and what the consequences are? I don't think anyone can say with certainty, but I read these threads so I'm quite aware they're collecting and monetizing every imaginable thing they can. It's difficult to articulate any measurable / real negative consequences to me, personally.
