First of all, I have had a similar experience with me talking about something and then it appears as an ad. Yep, we all have agreed on sharing our data. We need to blame ourselves. Noone has time to read about their terms and data policy. We simply click "I agree".
But it's not just you, or in this case, me, thinking like this. It's millions. Maybe even billions.
Totaly agree with you. We are billions, but we think that is only us. We think that is too "crazy" to think about someone spying on us. But in fact, we are the product.
Excellent work on your post. God Bless.
That's the point. We all have. The thing is that even if you do read the terms and conditions, you kinda have to agree. If you want the many benefits that Google or Facebook or whoever provides.
And most of us want the benefits.
even if you had read, in the beginning "we're gonna collect data on you" (very polished, of course), chances are you would have agreed. I recently renewed my passport. The lady took my picture, scanned my ID and then asked me to give my fingerprint. Now, I know this is pretty common abroad, but here, it's a relatively new thing. I was shocked, it's something I've always hated, the idea that the state now has my fingerprints.
But I put my finger down, in the end. I wanted the passport.
Thank you :)
