This place (the fediverse) is a circle-jerk of FOSS and paranoid privacy nuts: This comment has been a sane reference point.

I feel like one of the issues is that there's just no good regulations on data. I don't mind the ideals behind some of the things that are happening (better ads for Internet tracking, better designs from data derived from the telemetry in cars), but much of this doesn't have the same kind of regulation compared to say, medical data, which makes trusting these companies with the data very hard.
