What’s your take on his points? I wholeheartedly disagree with him but I don’t know how to properly voice why. I wanna hear what you guys have to say.

    Somebody else “not caring” about being tracked is only a valid response as long as their lack of care doesn’t affect me. With social networks like Facebook, which create social graphs based on self-reported connections, I am affected.

    Maybe other people have the privilege luxury of not caring, but hardly everybody does. Even a totalitarian dictatorship can be comfortable to the person at the top.

    No, though. Somebody doesn’t make a video to tell you that they don’t care. They make a video to convince you not to care too.

      This is a very important point most people don’t give a single thought to.

      Same principle applies to Meta having my contact data because other people use their products and have me saved on their phone. That shouldn’t be happening in the first place.

      (The GDPR deems it illegal when it happens in a professional context, so there’s that, at least)

        you have to protect yourself when you give data to people. disposable numbers, emails, po boxes, etc. frens and family, they do not give a damn, and will give every single big tech Corp all of your information.
