MODERATORS
This is a very important point most people don't give a single thought to.
Same principle applies to Meta having my contact data because other people use their products and have me saved on their phone. That shouldn't be happening in the first place.
(The GDPR deems it illegal when it happens in a professional context, so there's that, at least)
you have to protect yourself when you give data to people. disposable numbers, emails, po boxes, etc. frens and family, they do not give a damn, and will give every single big tech Corp all of your information.
I'm gonna be honest, I can't stand this argument.
Yes, the people I send a message to are the last and weakest link in a long chain of making the transfer of that message happen.
But that doesn't mean all the other links are irrelevant.
i never meant or said that. i meant that you should protect against all links in the chain. so, i agree with you
I misunderstood, then. Sorry for that, my reply was a bit angry
no worries, this topic is very frustrating..
