You’ve heard the rhetoric: Google (or Facebook) knows too much about me!
But it’s really not that big of a deal. Your data is safe, it’s not really about “you” anyway, and nothing is being sold.
The current narrative is that tech companies knowing too much about you is bad. But why? Because when anyone that you don’t know personally knows a lot about you, it affects our sense of privacy. We naturally feel violated or generally just “weird” about it—but it’s not like that. Your privacy isn’t being violated.
