In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.

    It is. They know everything about you. Even every store you have shopped at knows a lot about you. It really doesn’t take much interaction for a company to get a lot of info. It’s relatively easy to get an email and from there, if they wanted, they can get the rest of your profile from a 3rd party who has your data all matched up already. They can also build your profile pretty easily themselves as well.

      It’s never too late. Sure, they already have a lot of data on you but you can keep them from getting more.

        Definitely. I’m was trying to state that basic info about you is readily available to companies regardless of how you choose to interact with them.

      I think personal data poisoning is going to become more prevalent among privacy communities, I would like to see some tooling for this in the next few years.
