"Wild" is the unreasonable expectation your data is "personal" after sharing it with a third party, under a terms of service agreement no less.

>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).

  What 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.

    This reply seems rather… unrelated to my comment. But perhaps it'd be a fun philosophical debate at some other time.

      It's directly related, perhaps you just struggle with comprehending the message? Where does your entitlement come from? I bet working in tech too long.

        Personal 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.

        I'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.
