Some people do want others to have their data.
Dropbox is a great example of a successful business that is built on the idea of sharing data.
- Ensorceled 5y agoYes, I want to use Dropbox to share my invoice with my client and my client to share the assets from their designer with me. I don't want anybody tracking what websites I visit, articles I read or facebook videos I watch. These are two VERY different definitions of "data", mingling the two is not helpful to discourse.
- Nicksil 5y ago>I don't want anybody tracking what websites I visit, articles I read or facebook videos I watch. This whole thing is opt-in, is it not? If you don't want to share your information, you simply do not opt-in.
- Ensorceled 5y agoI'm replying to the person who used Dropbox as an example of "Some people do want others to have their data." in order to clear up their confusion.

- Ensorceled 5y ago> Let’s not mingle data intended for advertisement with data intended for social science research. Well those are two different USAGES of the same type of data (tracking). That one is good and the other bad is a different discussion.
