      Younger generation typically has no concern for data privacy and how much data they’re being milked of. There will be a time when they wish they listened.

        In case anyone is reading this thinking “nah, there won’t be a time I wish I listened,” take it from me that I do. I worry a lot about the current political climate in the US and about talking about queer topics online. Like, obviously, today it sounds insane to worry about, but who fucking knows.

        For fuck’s sake, they’re using period tracker apps to go after people for suspected abortions to charge them with “murder”.

        yes, but my point isnt to say “haha!! I told you so!”… also, data mining isnt less of a threat on a “personal” device… just less potential damage to your professional life.
