Thereβs a difference between a platform being built to help and a platform built to spy and monetize.
Saying FB giving you ads on how to draw means data mining is a good thing is, in my view, like supporting controlled housing because, hey, at least everyone gets a free bed out of it.
Plain and simpleβthese platforms were built for spying. And theyβre being used for spying.
Furthermore, when you have someone with as much of a monopoly as Bezos, or Gates, and theyβre all mining your data and selling it their friends and business partners, thereβs no real difference in overreach, in my opinion, between their abuse of power and the governmentβs in tech.
Nothing good can come from these places until they are thoroughly cleaned and a Data Bill of Rights is put into place.
You should be allowed to opt out of data sharing. The way things are now, you may be given the illusion of that option, but they still track absolutely everything.
I am an entrepreneur. That's why I see it differently.
I understand where you are coming from.
I am working on my own system.
We want to know what our prospects are interested in.
So we don't waste their time showing them crap they wouldn't like.
I studied consumer choice and behavioral economics in undergrad.
Even though my entire field relies on data on purchasing patterns and preferences, I only want people releasing that data willingly and with the knowledge of how I plan to use it.
Donβt think weβll see eye to eye on this one.

From my standpoint. We aren't planning to release anyone's data to any 3rd Party.
It's only used to help us understand what someone actually cares about. That's it.
But do people know you are using it?
Informed consent is incredibly important to me. Whether itβs for vaccines or data usage, transparency and consent are requirements in my view.
