What do you guys think about social networks saving, sharing and selling your personal data?

Question

I'm just curious what y'all think about companies learning personal information about yourself, that they then can use to share with other companies, sell to other companies and ultimately give up all of your personal information to anyone with enough money that wants it.

Answer

I don’t expect for anything I post on the internet to be private so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

It's literally there in the terms of service agreed to when you sign up. No one bothers to read. Facebook is just all around crap though. They censor anyone they disagree with, they sold info even before they changed their tos, they'll ban you for sharing a meme poking fun at a politician, but won't shut down the page glorifying pedophilia. Fuck them. There are alternatives now.

Answer

I mean🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t have anything to hide and if something happens then we know who was the cause.

Answer

Its how social media works. Lol. Its not news to me so idc

Answer

It’s pretty obvious that nothing stays private and policies change. Makes me think what this app does/will do with all my “valuable” data.

Answer

I honestly don’t mind. I’ve bought some awesome stuff off of Facebook ads. The only thing I HATE is that I constantly get adds for pregnancy and baby stuff because my phone knows I’m TTC. Having that in my face all the time gets old. I’ve got nothing to hide though.

Answer

Google is going to regret it after all the random searches I do for some of the women on this app 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I'm not sure as I'm not much educated on that subject. 
Can you make me a list of what negative outcomes this kind of stuff can bring to my personal life?

Answer

I don’t care. I’d rather ads be slightly relevant to me if I have to see them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I mean, I think it’s terrible. But it’s always made clear when you make a profile that they’re going to do that. But no one actually reads the fine print. You’re putting yourself out there publicly, on the internet. It’s not uncommon for your info to be taken and sold.
