Better to shut down than sell people's data without consent. Better still to seek consent, but between what they're actually doing and simply shutting down and deleting customer data, the latter would be preferable.
Edit: If anybody disagrees, I have a question to ask you: How would you feel if Google sold your youtube view history to the likes of Facebook, Tiktok, or Palantir? Better for them to ask first, or simply delete it. This SHOULD be required by law.
- wmf 3y agoThis isn't a new issue. For example, WhatsApp and all of its data was sold to Facebook. I'm sure some people closed their WhatsApp accounts because they didn't agree with Facebook's privacy policies.
