Let us know what you think about this article

I just clicked on a link — it happens. šŸ˜

First thing that happened was I got frisked. No, nothing — no, thanks. Please, GFYS!

Next thing is I get to see what this website wanted to tell me about in the first place (or maybe second place? Third? Whatever, nevermind šŸ˜‰ ).

I scan down the page and there it is: Gimme your content! Um, I’m sorry, but this website also told me that that this was the LAST free article I will EVER see — like, I guess, forever and ever, no “happily ever after” for me. šŸ˜Æ

Um, so you want me to tell you something? Submit? LOL!

LFMAO!! šŸ˜€

As a young person very connected and reliant on the internet, Iā€™ve kind of made peace with the fact that my data is taken and out there

Keywords: general , alexa , amazon , companies , data , facebook , google , info , internet , marketing , privacy , trust , webcam

Thereā€™s the argument that since weā€™re using Facebook and Gmail and stuff like that for free, our data is allowed to be collected (and used for marketing) as a trade-off, and while I guess that makes sense, itā€™s still kind of gross. Especially because that privacy doesnā€™t kick in once you do pay for an upgraded account or something. And with more and more companies just monopolizing everything like Amazon does for example, I think some have way too much info. If they get hacked, you could be screwed.

The filmā€™s creators do not include insights from those currently working at the companies or any experts that take a different view to the narrative put forward by the film

They also donā€™t acknowledgeā€”critically or otherwiseā€”the efforts already taken by companies to address many of the issues they raise. Instead, they rely on commentary from those who havenā€™t been on the inside for many years.
