With the tech companies continuing to steal as much as possible of our personal data, the general public has become jaded thinking that there’s nothing really bad going to personally happen to them as a consequence. This shortsighted view is proven wrong as hackers can cause virtually unlimited grief with enough of your personal info.
Should anyone disagree, there is ample proof of why all personal data collected should be permanently deleted by law and prohibited, again by law, that no one can even willingly give away their rights to privacy.
Amazing to me is the rise and use of self-destructive programs that do nothing but collect every single thing you watch/travel to/search/eat/buy and more. Vast numbers of folks willingly giving away their privacy and safety to watch videos.
If this info wasn’t important for enemies, why would there be such a gigantic effort to get this info? Consider if you’ve given China access to essentially everything you do … why would you assume this doesn’t matter?
This is the paradox of TikTok … by using their apps or having their cookies and other hidden info stealing extensions in your browser, you’re given them the permission to track your life … why would you think this is good for you? Very literally EVERYTHING you do online is cataloged and stored in China for future use. Please let me know when any communistic dictator has ever done anything to make anyone’s life better. If your movements and actions aren’t important, why is a foreign government spending untold billions to collect as much personal information about you as possible?
So, here’s the confounding question … why would millions of people install what is very literally spyware on their phones or computers?
