That's literally caring about PII. Quite a bit more than the state legislative sponsors of and "think of the children" advocates for these laws, too.
- ralferoo 2y agoI guess I didn't phrase that quite right. My meaning was that I'm sure they don't actually care about protecting the privacy of your PII. I'm pretty certain that they'd sell it if they had the chance and/or use it to sell adverts. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that the only reason they have the ability to block users from certain states is because they already had that information as it made their data more valuable to advertisers. They're probably already sharing information down to the city or district level with advertisers.
