If it’s so valuable, they should pay me for it. Else I’ll take my business off social media and all these companies can go fuck themselves, and their shareholders
I don’t give a shit about profitability. Never have. It’s gotten out of hand as people have tried to scrape for whatever they can do to try and make it out here, and for fucking what?
So we have systems and AI being forced on us and micromanaging our every word move and action?
What’s it mean to be free at this point other than to truly get off the fucking internet and go live your damn life!?
I’m curious what you can even do at this point to remove your data or stop producing it. Is that even possible?
Normatively, and as a public policy interest, this is wrong. Businesses that you pay for their services ought not to be able to sell data. They profited already, and their position is that it wasn’t enough, but government could regulate this, and businesses would have to be satisfied with still being the wealthiest corps. in the world without this dark revenue source. You also have limited product options when everyone does it so regulation is necessary, but the government wants to buy that info too, so it is disincentivized to pass regulation under that ground and under lobbying.
But, Corps. can sell data. And, if it was for sale to anyone, where there was no reasonable expectation of privacy under the 4th or 5th Amendment, then government can buy it without a warrant. The reasonable expectation of privacy is non-existent when it is purchasable by anyone.
It’s horrible our info is so easily available, we knew that, but, if every sketchy spam advertiser can already buy it, why would the government need a warrant?
Personal Data Bill of Rights!
This seems to be part of a bigger problem involving governments using partnerships with private companies to get around constitutional rights and laws.
The answer would be to make it so any government interaction with a third party is treated like government action alone, and goes through the same checks and balances. So, not only would the government be banned from collecting data without a warrant, but from getting it from third party sources without one as well, no matter what business models the latter may have.
This headline gives me a headache. They are buying it to bypass getting a warrant. Why would they get a warrant to buy something? If they had a warrant it means they could force companies to give it to them for free.
Also, Congress is gearing up to renew Section 702 which expires this year on 4/20.
If the government can just buy location and app data from brokers, the warrant protection feels pointless.
It needs a hard rule that sensitive data is not for sale to agencies without a warrant.
IOTW, the government is buying pirated content.
You don’t need a warrant. It’s data you probably agreed to give away to use some website. Anyone could buy it.
How much are they (data collectors) making off this info?
Theoretically, could an individual start a business that pays people for their info directly? My info is gonna get out, either way. I might as well get payed for it and avoid the trump run middle man, doing God knows what with our info
States need to start cracking down on data brokers. This shouldn’t remotely be a career to begin with.
In other news, water still wets most things. What did you think was going to happen with all the data that creepy companies collect off you?
„Anonymized“…. lol. Yeah because there’s so much financial incentive to do that right
And whats scary is that this data is being leaked and used without user’s consent
Jokes on them, I’m a loser. Have fun with that pointless data
Then let my data reflect that Donald Trump is the stupidest president in American history and his administration is made up of stupid fascist sycophants most notably miller and hegseth.
