• what is data harvesting? It’s a process of storing personal data from the users who uses online softwares, android apps and other online services.
  • why data harvesting terabytes of data? what is the incentive here? why fill up terabytes of storage with personal data of users? Big companies do this data collection to target you with personalized ads and also to sell your data to data brokers
  • Most people says “well i don’t have anything to hide so i don’t care” - but a person could have a embarrassing mental sickness like schizophrenia or OCD etc, and private stuff that shouldn’t be disclosed. Just because someone has things that they prefer to keep secret that doesn’t mean we are doing something criminal.

feel free to tell me what I should change or add to this? Thanks in advance!

    An emphasis on a lack of control as to what data is collected should be emphasized.

    that’s a very good point. Thank you for sharing it!
