It's kind of wild that when businesses lose control of people's personal info, they get no punishment. And when someone saves them from losing people's personal info, they give no thanks.
Seems well funded companies are immune from data liability or responsiblity.
- forward1 3y ago"Wild" is the unreasonable expectation your data is "personal" after sharing it with a third party, under a terms of service agreement no less.
- ziddoap 3y ago>terms of service agreement Are those the documents, often dozens of pages of barely understandable legalese word salad, that we've conditioned nearly everyone to click past? While I certainly agree that people share way too much data, I personally think hiding behind "it's in the terms of service agreement" is getting quite tired when they are designed in such a way that you are encouraged to skip past it, and they are worded in such a way that a lay-person doesn't have a chance of understanding what the ramifications of agreeing to the agreement is. Not to mention that, quite often, you don't really have a choice in the matter if you want to have a relatively normal life (e.g. being forced to agree to the terms of service of some random service to submit an application to a job, and not having a job isn't an option).
- forward1 3y agoWhat makes you think you're entitled to anything, let alone a "normal" life, in this world? No one forces you to live in and participate in society, but if you choose to, it's at your own risk.
- ziddoap 3y agoThis reply seems rather… unrelated to my comment. But perhaps it'd be a fun philosophical debate at some other time.
- forward1 3y agoIt's directly related, perhaps you just struggle with comprehending the message? Where does your entitlement come from? I bet working in tech too long.
- ziddoap 3y agoPersonal insults, nice. It's related in the same way that I can say "nothing matters at all" in reply to literally anything. Which is to say, very loosely, and entirely lacking substance.
- forward1 3y agoI'm sorry you're insulted by your own inability to answer a simple question about your own entitlement. It must be very difficult for your to engage in difficult conversations, and I hope this wasn't too stressful for your frail and fragile ego.
