A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You do rent out your personal data. That's how you pay for free services.
There is no rental agreement there. They straight up take your data. You should have a right who can take and use your data.
All of those services have terms and privacy policies that you are more than welcome to read, disagree with, and decide to not use the service.
I can't personally recall Google Data Collection Agents bursting into my home and stealing all my data, but perhaps they also wiped my memory or something.
Except sometimes you can't not use the service.
It's completely unreasonable to expect people to quit their job just because they disagree with the terms and conditions of a single piece of software they're required to use for work. If that service is collecting their data, there's basically nothing they can do about it.
If you use a service for job needs, this is not your data, this is your employer data. And it can request a removal as well. Moreover, corporate contracts usually are not ad based.
