Anyone else have this happen?
I used to be really into thinking EVERY corp was spying on me. Because of the permissions asked and blah blah blah. Supported the EFF wholeheartedly. Still do somewhat.
...Then I started my career in tech and realized that just about every company is BARELY holding it together. I work at a company that asks for a lot of permissions from mobile users. We frequently get emails from people who think we're spying on them or some shit. They get all LARPy like they're fighting big brother. They have absolutely no idea we're held together by the coding equivalent of duct tape and are in a desperate attempt to hold together a rapidly aging code base,

This might be true for smaller businesses, but the big moneymakers got it all figured out already.

a frequent fallacy in thinking is that "everyone" is out to get you, when in reality every individual exists as an individual. a corporation is just a convenient title, a single person with intent to spy on you would be more effective than an anonymous, umbrella agency with no personal ties.

WOW I wonder (((WHO))) could be behind this post?!

that's exactly what's really worrisome about every fucking company gathering data on people. when the company explodes, where does the data go? is the data secure right now? of course not
i don't think companies are gathering data and doing insano illuminati shit with it. i think they're gathering it in a desperate attempt to turn a profit, without regards for the risks, because the meme right now is that companies are supposed to take risks (with other people's privacy)

Well ad companies need statistics from a range of people, so since they can make money out of your data, they want it.

Shut up faggot. I still think there is a decent amount of sketch shit going on. But after seeing a lot of this shit from the other side I think that a lot of "consumer" freakout is unwarranted.

OP here, extremely valid point.

Good to know. Now, remind me why I would use your software?

Another fallacy is thinking that just because you don't have your shit together, no one else does.
