I can’t really blame them either. If you don’t want to be invaded by the USA and end up like Iraq or Afghanistan, you have to be able to defend yourself.

This comment got to me really late, probably to Lemmy’s distributed nature.

But I still want to add: of course business will make more money if you allow more practices, but selling personal data just has too many negative consequences.

Also low quality advertising? You mean like billboards and in the newspaper? You mean regular advertising?

No, just ban the collection of user data and selling to 3rd parties. Enormous fines for anyone still doing it. Destroy this entire industry please.

Exactly, it’s the whole “black lives matter” vs “all lives matter” thing all over again.
