Majority of people do not care about their privacy or are too naive to believe that major corporations are selling their data, including videos, pictures, among other information.
Read on, this may awake at least some out there:
"A mysterious company based in New York called Clearview AI. It has created a revolutionary app that can identify random people on the street. It can do this because it has scraped billions of photos from the web, including from sites like Facebook, YouTube, Venmo, Instagram and LinkedIn. Clearview has already been selling the technology to police departments but trying to keep it under wraps. "
I recommend reading the article, it is just another example of how oversharing is a problem
this is why you erase your digital footprint yesterday. no public photos of yourself, anywhere.

I think most people know companies are selling their data, I think most just don't care or think there's nothing they can do about it.
But here's what I usually tell them. These billion dollar companies are profiting of your data without you getting any share of it! That usually gets them thinking a bit more, at least.
