Bytedance, google and microsoft have no reason to worry about consumer’s privacy, as much as that compliant mindset still exists. And it is very common for people to think that way.

It should be a fundamental right that everyone should have, not to be tracked and profiled. Just imagine a weirdo looking at you from the window, watching everything you do, just so when you come outside he can talk to you. They use advance tools just for advertising?

Being privacy-aware is not because you have something to hide or that you are criminal. it is because you don’t want your data collected and monetized, you don’t want to feel like you are being monitored, or government surveillance to predict and control the mass.

Some ads are even manipulative, you start wanting something you have never even thought of, Or they would use trends to make you more persuasive. Companies by default shouldn’t track us, and you should have option to accept your data being collected so all the “i have nothing to hide” can share their data with companies.
