    I thought by now everybody assumed that their tech was spying on them and stealing their data.

      That’s kind of different from it being fully public though. I imagine people are thinking only Facebook is going to be looking at this stuff, not their coworkers and relatives.

        I assume that the corpos are taking my data, but I also trust that their primary interest is commercial. Or rather, commercials. I.e. selling shit or otherwise profiting. But I’ve seen the kind of asshole who ends up in the general public and some of those fuckers are actively evil. I don’t expect Meta to target my family for our politics or go after anyone’s gender identity unless some outside circumstance makes it profitable for them.
