Not a single friend or family member gives two shits about privacy. When I tell them about what companies know about them and what they do with that information, it’s kind of like a vegan telling a meat eater where their meat comes from. Like “wow that sounds bad but I’m not willing to make any changes”. The only difference is that instead of animals being a product, this time they are the product.

I just do that so the cat doesn’t stare awkwardly at me while I poo.
When he doesn’t try and take a look in the bowl during the action, at least.

Advertisers pay double for poop recordings.

Wait for the new smell sensors, just a brief sniff of your turd and they can feed you ads for doctors you didn’t know you needed, yet

same. Someone I know, this morning, said “oh I just got on threads”, and “everyone is there”, and worse “the only reason I know about it is because you told me.” The thing is, 1. Threads is a Meta project, 2. I told them about it in the context of this huge discussion on the fediverse about defedding from corporate social media, in which the VAST MAJORITY agree that federating with corp social media is bad plan. sigh.

Threads is unfortunate proof that people aren’t looking for a better solution outside of finding a different leader. Jack Dorsey is The Good One, Elon Musk is The Bad One.
For many of the same people, several years ago, Elon Musk was also The Good One.

Feels bad… The timespan concentration of a gold fish.
“You know there is thread wich bla bla, fediverse, bla bla, priVEUsi, blah blah…”

The effective way to combat this is to pull their information from data brokers and tell them everything you know. Then they feel violated, as they should.
They’ll blame you and never put two and two together though.

Haha, that doesn’t sound super effective though.

Until and unless there is real and tangible detrimental effect in their lives they will probably never ever give a shit about privacy.
And what is there to point out as such?

How do they collect any data? Beyond the locations the car drives to.
From the article:
from your medical information, your genetic information, to your “sex life”
But how? I can’t fathom it.

From metadata alone, you could identify somebody at a strip club on Friday, a church on Sunday, and an STD clinic on Tuesday

Bear in mind many models also have voice recognition, and the Bluetooth can potentially pick up the MAC on every phone in the car.
