Yet GP said "selling data", not "collecting data". Google and Facebook collect hordes of data and sell access to insights of it, but not the underlying data itself as that data is far too valuable.
- 9dev 4y agoWe can play semantics all day, but both companies sell insights and slices of data to ad customers, while acting benevolent and community-focused to their users. The valuable hordes of data you mention have been collected without users actually understanding what or why this is happening. If you only care about getting a good pay from such a job, fine. But that just makes you immoral in my book.
- jimmydorry 4y agoExcept the claim was that Facebook and Google can't possibly be privacy conscious as they _SELL_ user data. Every part of that sentence was wrong, and you are trying to pretend otherwise.
