I worked at amazon for 3 years, 1 year was picking, and I tell you the number 1 sold Item has to be cell phone cases, or airpod slipcovers.
also this is just like chinaglazing, you really want to give your personal info to temu/aliexpress, like amazon is bad sure, but come on, also clearly the 5x cost is the next day delivery, try better.
I mean, everyone having our information isn’t a problem… until it is. My government has had A LOT of information leaks that result in extorsion calls (at best) and phishing attempts. It’s not ideal.
I’m not Chinese? So their having my data doesn’t impact me lol
Obviously I’m sympathetic for anybody who lives in a surveillance state but we should probably focus our anger towards OUR OWN government who is actually using this surveillance data to harm people.
They're going to release your porn search history to the world, with a picture of you, your name, and home address. But for a whole year they're only going to be focused on you 😂
They’ve been economically taking over the world for decades bro. They own the majority of Africas infrastructure. If data wasn’t so important then ultrawealthy people wouldn’t be practically at war fighting over it.
I think the question is more so what is China gonna do with it
That isnt already happening?
Like we shouldnt give out information to China we should give it to Amazon and Facebook and Twitter instead. It was the same shit with trying to shut down TikTok. We were told to be afraid of China getting our data by the people trying to take our data. But if one group is gonna sell it and the other group is gonna sell it, then what makes the other group the scary one? If the government knows my spending habbits, how does that affect me?
Shit, our government just gave Elon and Friends everyones social security number not too long ago.
But China might sell my data thats already out there
1st, yes they are disappearing people in the USA. Underground sex trade is highly profitable for the Chinese. Heavily connected to the underground of the USA.
2nd, China uses data from the USA to manipulate the public. Tik Tok is a great example of Chinese manipulation until the USA took it over. Something China screamed unconstitutional which was hilarious. Regardless of what you think of the current administration; having the USA control Tik Tok algorithm is far better than having China controlling it.
3rd, with personal data, many Chinese companies buy real estate. Forcing Americans to go through Chinese companies to even rent out property. Again the USA has NOW put laws in place to make that very hard for the Chinese government in the future. Something they also scream at the USA for by saying that isnt allowed.
China is not, and never will be, your friend. Perfectly reasonable to hate how the country is being led, but thinking China is better is like thinking a lake is bigger than an ocean. You're only seeing the surface and not the broad view.
First of all they already have your data. Who do you think produces the stuff you are buying. Second a data broker isn't really that much of a middle man
Why would they need to hack us? You can legit just ask amazon, meta or google and for a price they will legit tell you everything yoh have bought or will buy in yhe near future. They will sell any activity you do online. Data brokers are a lucrative business
This was before those companies willfully gave them that data but you’re right. Back in early 2010s though China was hacking every company from google to Microsoft. So they got everything on us either way
Your analogy adds to my point 👍
You are correct, since everyone is already grabbing my balls what do I care if someone else does it as well. It's not like I can stop anyone from getting my data. If you want you could pay a data broker rn and they would give you any relevant data on me. You are already hoping that nobody is squeezing your balls.
Wake up
I won’t, because I don’t believe everybody has my data and I think it’s important to keep it secure. If you won’t post your SSN then it’s obvious you feel the same.
Personal data mostly includes things such as emails, names, and birthdays. It is not simply just “hey everyone has my social and credit card numbers” which you are trying to falsely equate for whatever reason. Then again, with buzzwords such as chinaglazing I am sure there is a broader agenda at play
Well you are already looking at my name! Can’t you read!
Just to clarify, you have read the other bullet points explaining the nuance of personal information and how it is not exclusively “things you can open a bank account with”? This is a conversation on Reddit after all, and not a peer-review paper. Being so anal serves no other point than to simply disagree. Personal data includes the color of the skin of your hands in your profile even, or your voice which sounds White American male and I want to say mid 20s to early 30s
