The problem is that not every business is fully transparent about their business models nor we don’t know which state level actor is sometimes behind the ”accidental” data collection.
- djur 5y agoDo we have any examples so far of a state-level actor using data that was "accidentally" collected from users?
- smolder 5y agoYou're asking a silly question. States use data indiscriminately, whether it was "accidentally" gathered or not. Ultimately, it's not really accidentally gathered. There is pressure to over-collect.
- nicce 5y agoTechnically it is illegal at least in the U.S. to pressure for overcollecting the data. That is why I used the word ”accidentally”. However, in reality some companies might think in the end that it was their own idea.
