And it has accomplished NOTHING. All the data is still there. All the demographic analysis is still there. All the targeted ads still work.
Oh no. The situation is VERY permanent. As I’ve pointed out to you already. Multiple times. But you can’t be bothered to listen. This data is just too useful for businesses. They WILL collect it.
They alter behavior, but only in that they figure out how to still get what they want.
We have ZERO privacy. We have had ZERO privacy for probably longer than you’ve been alive. If you buy an Alexa you know the purpose of Alexa and you have accepted that as part of your life.
Congress, much like Google, doesn’t care what I say. But if they actually wanted me to talk I would gladly point out that all their talk about protecting privacy is hollow posturing by career politicians tied to political parties that GATHER and USE all the exact same data. And have been for a very long time.
Doesn’t matter what people think. That’s what I’ve been telling you. People have been complaining about the parts of this bother to notice for AGES. And what’s changed exactly? Oh yeah all those whiner bought cellphones.
This conversation is going nowhere, neither one of us is going to change their opinion.
But privacy advocates will never give up because we know how important an issue this is.
Educating the public and then legal changes.
You’ve been a great help on the 1st.
Thanks, have a great day.
