I wouldnโ€™t mind you finding out any information about me. I would mind you feeling entitled to me putting in effort and time to answer you. Iโ€™ve read all the suggestions people here posted and none made me reflect or get anywhere near changing my mind. Privacy centric people just have to accept not everyone is like them. I respect your need for privacy. I donโ€™t understand why you obsessively require me to hold the same belief.

I donโ€™t think anyone requires you to hold any specific beliefs, nobody within this comment chain anyway.

Itโ€™s a bit akin to meeting someone on the street and being told โ€œItโ€™s nighttime!โ€ while the sun is out. Iโ€™d definitely be interested in understanding why that other person considers it to be nighttime and I would at the very least be disappointed not to get a conversation out of it.

Three different fictitious requests:

  1. โ€œCan you spare some change?โ€
  2. โ€œWould you let me skip ahead of the queue please? I have an urgent appointment later on.โ€
  3. โ€œWill you let us share your user data with our partners in order to improve our services?โ€

Iโ€™m assuming here - and please correct me if I am wrong - that you would be likely to acquiesce to 3. in most contexts, maybe even more likely than to acquiesce to 1. or 2.?

Privacy sentiments are subjective beliefs, not an objective fact like nature.

I genuinely donโ€™t see a point in engaging with you, even just based on what I stated above where you use your personal beliefs in line with objective, provable elements of the natural world. So Iโ€™ll choose not to. Cheers. ๐Ÿ‘

While I obviously cannot force you to continue a conversation you do not wish to have, Iโ€™m a bit perplexed by what youโ€™re saying here and at what point โ€œbeliefโ€ entered the conversation. If youโ€™re saying that data, personal and otherwise, has no real, objective, provable value then surely that would go against all physical evidence? There must be some kind of misunderstanding here. Well, cheers โœ‹
