ELI5; Why is selling data such a big deal?

682 viewsOtherTechnology

Obviously sensitive information like addresses, credit cards, etc. should be protected, but I don’t understand why it’s considered a big deal when companies sell other data? Don’t they just sell things like how much time you spent staring at a picture before you scrolled?

Give me your browsing data from your entire life on the internet.

I’m going to attach it to every resume you ever create. I’m going to give it to everyone you do business with. I’m going to give it to your parents, your spouse/Partner, and your priest.

Everyone in the entire world will know your every thought. Even the random fucked up ones.

Some shit should just be private.
