Guess they'd better figure out how to get people their data in a more rapid manner. I guess they could use a computer or something to automate it so that users can just click a button to download their data.
I mean, what year is this? We've been hearing "automate it, automate it, etc" for years and years now. But to get your personal data, these companies just throw up their hands and say that it's too hard?
- colpabar 4y agoI couldn't agree more. Even if it does require a person to do something that isn't automated, they should be required to have people on staff whose first priority is responding to these requests. It seems ridiculous to me that people are claiming this is just too hard for a company so they should get to profit off of it. It's our data, dammit!
- drstewart 4y ago>that people are claiming this is just too hard for a company so they should get to profit off of it. Completely disingenuous argument. Literally nobody claimed that. By the same token of strawmanning, you're claiming that businesses should do nothing than hire people to send your data back to you. Why even have businesses if that's the only thing you think they should do? If you're so invested in "your data, damnit", then don't give it to them in the first place.
