How Americans View Data Privacy
How Americans View Data Privacy
The share of Americans who say they are very or somewhat concerned about government use of people’s data has increased from 64% in 2019 to 71% today. Two-thirds (67%) of adults say they understand little to nothing about what companies are doing with their personal data, up from 59%.
The first step toward solving a problem is acknowledging it. This is welcome progress from "most people don't care."
I’m not sure I have the wherewithal to do much about the problem. I avoid Google shit and to the extent possible, Microsoft (a necessary evil for work). But I don’t have the time to deal with phone privacy and I am firmly embedded in Apple’s system. I use NextDNS. Browser addons to block scripts & cookies & shit. Not sure what else I could do that wouldn’t be a significant draw on my time.
