I read this same gibberish 10 years ago and said then what I will say now. None of this will have any material affect on your life. People had the same defense as you. 10 years later it has had zero material affect on my life. 10 years from now this will still have zero material affect on my life.My guess is 10 years from now you will continue to remain scared (skeptical) and tell us why we should worry. 10 years after that you will do the same. Sure there are things that one should worry about that will have material affect. Those are things to be focused on. This is a non issue.
People said the same thing as you are saying 20 years ago....
What we got for such naivety was the PATRIOT Act, and how much that also affected and interfered with people's lives. I know and have had personal dealings with families all but persecuted for who they are, what they look like, what religions they have.
People said the same thing you are saying 70 years ago.
What we got for such naivety was Emmett Till, Medgar Evars, the Mississippi Burning, segregation, and the like for a good 20 years, until MLK was assassinated...
I'm Black/Choctaw Indian.
You have no idea about how or what someone says or does that can affect your life let alone my life. All because people stood up for people like me. Because of that, we've stood up for other people who were wrongfully treated because of who and what they are.
Just imagine where I would be let alone my wife and children (she's white; my children are interracial) would be because what they did had "zero material affect" on her life. My children wouldn't be here, let alone would I be with her. I mean, none of those actions that happened 70 years ago would have affected her.. 🤦♂️
My point: you may call it being "scared" or "skeptical".. In fact, you probably would have called our 1st US Postmaster General the same:
Benjamin Franklin said:
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
He wasn't scared or skeptical of what was going to happen; he knew what was going on in Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War was wrong, despite the fact that he didn't even live in Pennsylvania.. I mean, it didn't materially affect him.
I think we see the problem with your statement there. Scared and Skeptical isn't the problem; being safe and secure in our business and whereabouts are, especially when it comes to what is unwillingly out of our control and against what we may have agreed to with our data.
And to even stretch that even further, we can't even be secure in our 4A rights relative to that data, as while we would have recourse against Tile should it be used against that right, we would NOT have such recourse against Life360, because Life360 wouldn't be pursuant to the agreements people made with Tile.
But wait.. oh yeah, scared and skeptical.. I'll put it this way: caring about what happens to our data and how it affects our lives (which it does) is a lot better than being naive about what could happen and having to deal with the implications and consequences from the fallout AFTER something has happened. It is always better to be proactive to a situation than reactive. If you're reactive, it's too late.
