Of course they can only keep date people share, so long as people are using platforms that collect data and encourage you by making you feel guilty for not sharing then there will be a ready supply of data
@zleap It's more than feeling guilty. Example, if I'm sick, I would like to pre-order my shopping and pick it up quickly or have it delivered so I don't have to go into a store and infect people with my germs. But that online shopping platform will collect all kinds of data about me
@zleap It's true, but it's also becoming harder to avoid. Like, online access to tools is something that people both need and want. It's usually more efficient than the "old way" of paying bills, getting information, reporting problems, etc. But it would be really really hard to opt out of all platforms that collect any data, you know?
