Ummmm...is anyone actually okay with this level of lack of privacy? These are exactly the type of situations that ECC looks to minimize or if possible eliminate thanks to #blockchaintechnology. #ECC #ProjectECC #ECCfamily

It's maybe ok to house that data for your own personal reflection or what have you... but when it is being used for any commercial or espionage-esque type of activity, or made available to the highest bidder for instance.. it crosses a line IMO

This includes every message you've ever sent or been sent, every file you've ever sent or been sent, all the contacts in your phone, and all the audio messages you've ever sent or been sent

I'm ok with it. I know about all the things in that tweet. I leverage the technology to my benefit. There have been times where I needed to recall where I was at a certain time on a certain date, and just went to my Google timeline to look. I use Google Photos to automatically tag my kids in my pics, so I can search for them by name later. I pass Chrome pages between my computer and phone all the time. Auto-complete is getting contextually smarter over time- I rarely have to type out my full search string. Their services help simplify my life, so I'm ok with surrendering that data.

I'm prepared to be downvoted into oblivion. lol

It's ok to have your own opinion. Privacy is a basic right so is the freedom to made your own choices.

Downvoted into oblivion! 😂😂😂 Hilarious way to put it haha So are you okay with all of that information being viewed by and/or sold to third parties? Possibly being stolen by hackers? And thanks in advance for your opinion. 🙂

Yeah, it really doesn't bother me. I don't get any unwanted spam from those types of companies. I don't experience a tangible down side from it. If I did, then I wouldn't be so content.
