If you were a faceless algorithm yhea I wouldn’t mind, I’m giving my address and information to plenty of companies I get services from. Those false equivalences are why people don’t take you seriously.

Are you seriously this delusional? There is no "faceless algorithm", they can pull your profile at any time and give it to the highest bidder.

Wait, you actually think they sell single profiles? Go buy some tinfoil, the lizard people may come for you with all that Google data

There are people behind algorithms. They don't exist for the sole purpose of gathering the data for the sake of it - the data is later accessed and processed by people.

I'm giving my address and information to plenty of companies I get services from.

And how is that different from giving any of information to me? I'm just trying to gather some statistics here, nothing more.

Those false equivalences are why people don’t take you seriously.

Is this why Zuckerberg went to trial and the EU is preventing apps and services whose sole purpose is to hoover up some data about you to become available in its domain?
