Do you really care if your data is exploited??

[milewilda]

I recently stumbled upon a project called Algebraix and they brought up some really good points about data exploitation on their blog (https://medium.com/algebraix-data). So it brought me to ask the question: do we really care if our data is exploited?

With huge scandals like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, this issue is brought into the lime light. I'm really curious if you guys care or not

Ive been wondering whose person isnt really concerned about his identity or personal information? None,right? The thing here is that we do already done things which we do expose of our identity not might directly but just basing out on our social media accounts you are already giving out information and yes those scandals happen on facebook.Arent we aware that informations can really be sell out or being used up for their benefits? This is why i do really care about any info given out on this online world.

That is why sharing of information and what information you want to be private should be set on private mode, always visit your setting to lock information you want to keep private because everyone can see your profile or what's inside your account if you don't set things proper it's your problem not the the viewer....

[Muzika]

Yes of course, data should be kept and it is between the owner and the third party if there are some leakage then it is violation of the privacy. Every data is personal it can risk you because someone can used your personal data to scam other people.

I think when you go in and put an identity on a website like social media, you have to be prepared with all the risks like exposed your identity, facebook scandal for example, you have to accept it because that's the risk, no one can be trusted on the internet, so do not be careless in enter identity

[Cojiro]

in fact I'm not very concerned about this, but when facebook scandal happens I rarely give out my personal information or my identity in social media, because I am very disturbed by the scandal

Datas like personal information? Yes ofcourse. Who wants here to get copied using that and get scammed? Thats why we have personal information, for personal use. If some sites get this as security purposes then it would be better but not exploited it.

You can get scammed, that's the worst thing that can happen to anyone, to find out in one moment that some scammer wiped your accounts and credit cards. Next thing is bothering, they use our info to bother us with messages, with commercials of all types.
I don't like when my data is exploited just someone to make profit on that. Look what happened with face book, they are criticized for what they did, too bad that they didn't pay in some way for what they did, they should build some building for poor people or to make some playground in some poor neighborhood, face book and many other sites. Because of them we have some new regulations on that field, now internet services promise they will be careful with sensitive personal informations, we will see, but again I think they should pay for the past!

[redsun114]

definitly i think everyone  care about his data...  and i do also care about my data.. and i know facebook and other social apps sometimes exploited the data..

Well, we all care about it, and like you said, they exploit it and there is really nothing we can do about it, so what is the point caring if they do or not. Unless there is a huge law regarding that which would penalize such activity, I guess we may just have to keep accepting it as it comes.

Also, whatever they are using the data for should simply be selling for research purposes and it is not like they are simply just going to screw everyone based on that, and the only thing that makes it suck for almost everyone that complains about it is because they simply do not get anything for it.

It is really the big issue because why someone should reveal your identity and data to third part and get paid for it. Instead you should be getting paid for giving them the data. think about it how much money you being losing to this social media due this tricks they use it.

[mwaqar17]

I think your data is your personal property and no one have right to exploit your data. But in this digital era it is very very difficult to save your data from being exploit. Take example of smart phone when you are installing an application how much data that application is collecting. Similarly other online services and forum also collecting our data in real time. Have you ever noticed how much google is taking data from our daily life..?

Regulation or no regulation I do not think things are going to change that much, now we have a full generation of people that share every single detail and aspect of their lives over the internet fortunately I was capable to see what Facebook was about from the very beginning and I never had an account, but my friends complain to me the fact I do not have an account in Facebook, talk about clueless.

A lot could go wrong if only a single detail of your data is being exploited and traded in exchange for cash as these buyers are definitely prone to illegal and malicious feat. The real question here should be, if here buyers of second-hand data are not buying it for illegal reasons why can't they just conduct a proper research and request for those details from the users themselves rather that pay millions of dollars to acquire them? Afterall Facebook and other social media platforms get these informations as easy as air without no cost incurred at all. So why not challenge those millions of dollars into conducting a proper research with better incentives to extract user informations. I believe a lot of people would trade their data for some incentive so long as you tell them something reasonable. Don't forget people fear what they don't know about so selling my data to people I don't even know not to talk of what they would do with it is enough to give one sleepless nights. So I care about my data security ALOT!!!

Of course I care if my data is exploited, those kind of websites are doing everything they can to try to profile you and sell you something and if they cannot do it they will profit from you by selling your information, so before creating one account in all of those websites people need to really think if they agree with a world in which private corporations know everything about you.

[LeGaulois]

A lot of people like to say they do care about their privacy but still use a free email service, Google, Facebook, a browser spying.
When it's about offline they use the loyalty cards from supermarkets used to collect points to then receive discount. They also use android with a bunch of applications with access to almost everything there is on the phone.

Long ago it was expensive to get a personal information public, now it's expensive to get it private

[boss1dg]

If you are online you are prone to data leakage , you need to know many things to save your data private which is impossible for a normal person browsing internet . Smartphone is also a tool for big companies to grab large data with app permission .
personally I will not like even to share my data with any random person , and regarding exploitation , it will be a big issue for me . Whenever any project ask KYC i have to think twice before investing in that project .

[Johnyz]

There is no such private thing in the internet, we already shared our personal information when you have your email accounts, facebook, twitter and so on but of course we have to be care when our data is exploited because it can be use to hack all our accounts that can lead to risk of your safety, finances (bank accounts) and other things that is important to you.

Obviously noone wants their data to be exploited and/or used inappropriately. However, there is the argument of corporations using our data to make our lives more convenient (e.g. Google etc). If the question is about data usage in that context, personally, I'm in

[BitBite5]

Yes, I care about my privacy. In fact I like to know who has the access to my personal data and how are they used, according to law or not. I don't like when random persons have access to my personal data without authorization. This is something that can cause you serious troubles like identity theft, it's the question of safety too.
And I don't agree that privacy on internet doesn't exist, it does, but no one else will take care of it unless you do it for yourself.

[Scripture]

Of course who doesnt want a private life here. Also, if your data is exploited, you are more prone on scams because people could fake your identity and use it on illegal things. Now that the internet is expanding, people doesnt feel fully secured. Data security is the answer.

I often use fake data when I fulfill some online forms which are of no use. For specific sites I use my original data when I know that my personal data will not be revealed to any one and would be in safe hands. I don’t want any misuse of my personal data. Therefore I am very careful about giving my personal data to anybody. I am afraid of scams and hijacking.
