This reminds me of when a neighbor reported to the landlord that we were smoking weed indoors. She claimed she could smell it in her own apartment. We weren’t (and weed is legal where I live, so it’s a moot point.) When the landlord came around, we let him come in and smell our apartment. He found nothing.
So we suggested that the landlord go smell HER (the narc’s) apartment to confirm how bad the smell is. Guess what? She refused to let him in.
If she ever attempts to complain again, the procedure now will be to investigate her apartment first. If she refuses, we won’t be bothered. So yeah.
the vast scale of the data imo makes most of it worthless outside of demographics ad targeting
Not when each point is matched to a unique machine (i.e. user) ID. It’s not anonymous, it’s “anonymized” which is just snake oil (replace your actual name with a unique ID).
Also, I find ad targeting bad enough all by itself.
Absolutely can’t stand the “I have nothing to hide” response. Like y’all aren’t parroting Nazi propaganda.
When someone says this irl, I like to ask them if I can go look through their underwear drawer.
Oddly enough the people with nothing to hide usually say no.
Underwear drawer is nothing compared to their actual phone.
If they have nothing to hide, then you should be able to install a mirroring app so that you can log onto their phone at anytime for any reason.
I don’t get any takers on this either.

I’m not parroting anything. I just also realize the vast scale of the data imo makes most of it worthless outside of demographics ad targeting lol
