Rotation data? System volume? Why? What use could they have from knowing rotation data? What’s the endgame to these seemingly irrelevant data points? This stuff is so scary, at some point they’ll know what you’re thinking before you’ve thought it in the first place.

Trade union membership, Political opinion, genetic information - scary shit for a corporation to have, and all of it in service of greed.

But if they sell the data, then isn’t their ads delivery system less effective and therefore less valuable? If two people have the same data sets, they can undercut each other when selling it/access to it. Makes more business sense to hold onto the data, and just sell ad delivery to businesses that want to show ads to the users that that data is about.

Even worse in the third world without many of the data protection that first world citizens enjoy. Nobody gives a shit who gets their own data - Data Privacy advocates get hassled by the very people they are advocating for.

Wait, really? Can you think of any examples off the top of your head? I read elsewhere on this thread they had a previous attempt at this mission which crashed and burned (Vikram and Pragyan)

Maybe if they’re really lucky, they’ll find someone that cares about pathetically dull opinions like the one you just (tried to) expressed.

We should be dragging this billionaire asshole for all the shitty things he has done and is doing. It only weakens our own position to bring in speculation and unverified shit. It just becomes a lightning rod for the unwashed masses that support him to dismiss every other valid point against him.

No. They wake up whenever they want - their workplaces usually revolve around them instead of the other way around, since they usually head their own companies. This is relevant in the tech space. In other industries like Law and Business, they usually do have set times when they are in the office and stuff, but again, it’s not the same as the rest of us plebians going to work - they have drivers and pilots and they won’t get written up for being late or not going somewhere they don’t want to go to, though their business may/may not suffer the effects of their decisions. As for home life, They pretty much have fleets of staff that take care of all their earthly concerns - no chores, no house maintenance, or cooking or shopping etc. They usually aren’t even connected to the people that do these things - They have personal assistants that work with home chaperones for each home that hire cooks and servants and property maintenance people etc. as needed.

Fair warning though - I found all this from YouTube and the internet and shit, so I can’t speak for its accuracy.
