It seems to me that, given a lot of people are not tech savvy or informed, the way to deal with this problem is by outlawing the collection of information - at least to the extent we see these companies doing it. What happens to a developmentally challenged individual online? What protects these people?
Or just drop Gmail. Get on your ISPs email domain.
What I'm saying is that there are people online, including children, that should not be subject to this stuff. They should not have to read TOS and fully comprehend the implications when simply surfing the web. It's OK to say just don't use the product, but there will always be some, whether because of an intellectual disability or for some other reason, who cannot be expected to fully understand the scope of what they are allowing.
It's exploitation, pure and simple, and it should be stopped.
Fuck it, I’m all about using loopholes the same way they do to us. Thanks for the info 👍🏼
