Who is letting Samsung have access to their health data?

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Average person that doesn't care what data a company has or what it does with it

Do you know what? I trust Apple with my data (for better or for worse, or at least I used to).

I can see how someone might be just as delusioned as I am but they trust Samsung instead.

Well, that's certainly one possibility, but there are so many average people that simply don't even know. You could mention their data or try to talk about privacy or safety with it and they would neither care, nor be interested, and in some cases not even comprehend it or why it matters.

Was just at a local area on some bleachers and a row below me was a woman on her phone watching AI slop videos one after another. Her entire feed was only AI slop videos for 45 minutes. That's the kind of person I'm thinking of. The ones that unilaterally pay no attention, for whatever reason, to any aspect of data privacy/sovereignty/anonymity/safety/"insert aspect here".

People on Lemmy aren't likely to have just stumbled in here. We are probably all aware of these issues on some level. But average people like that woman I mentioned are the ones most at risk of being taken advantage of. We need extremely strong data and privacy regulation, and needed it years ago.

Lol sorry, didn't mean to soapbox. Just have a lot of strong opinions on this and am tired of seeing people, naive or not, being taken advantage of.
