and now I find that I have been “subscribed” to a Google mailing list which repeats back to me everything that I have said to you on the board with that you have responded to me on the board since when the hell was it OK for you guys to give away peoples personal information
and then I am told that in order to “ unsubscribe “ I have to enter onto the Google site and when I read the fine print it says it by doing so I have a greed to grant google a lifetime license in all the information that it stole off of my computer and from my email account!
Who did this I really wanna know who did this ? how would you feel if I gave away your name your identity and your address to whomever I please ? how would you like it if I subscribe you to “focus on the family”? or to the National Rifle Association, or to “Actup”, etc.?
and in order to unsubscribe I have to agree to their terms of service which would which would include agreeing that everything they cleaned off of my computer with their malware and they’re taking up my entire contact list they have a flight is to use for life
so somebody better fess up !
Besides, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and your mobile carrier, your home ISP is also selling your personal data. You have no legal right to stop or reverse it. Your digital footprint (pretty much everything about you) is well-established by all the big tech companies and your data is sold without your consent all the time. You have no recourse. You came unplug, cut the cord, remove your accounts, become a digital nomad, but your book has been written and is tied to you. The tombstone is already carved.
Europe's G.D.R.P. is an attempt to tighten consumer privacy but is only a flimsy attempt.
And for the love of God, get off gmail. All that mail is scanned by Goole's bots and your profile is further refined.
The problem is governments, both domestic and foreign, and law enforcement are bidding for the same data. Hello facial recognition.
And then we have Russians and other hostile states hacking and planting malware like Face App. and worse. We're fucked.
By the way, I make my living designing, simulating, and testing commercial database software. Ironic, huh?
