    FYI: Unless you’re completely off the grid everyone has your anonymized data on almost everything. You can really only use it to advertise. If I wanted to target the people who visited the Chick Fil A near my house any time in the past 6 months that likes yoga I could do that.

        If Google ever let de-anonymized data out, then I would lobby my Congressman to, like, authorize a drone strike on them - and I think so would most other people. But anonymized data is fine by me. And I'm not too private about my FB data either.

        It’s not just Facebook, it’s every major app creator ever as well as your carrier. As long as you can map device and/or IP you have a pretty accurate read on everything you *do*, just not who you *are*. All they know is “this device does x y z.”

        With search terms alone it was pretty easy to ID people in '06 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_search_data_leak …). Once you have IP, device, and a handful of behaviors it wouldn't take much work to cross reference that with a public data source to fully ID the data.

        Not to mention many of these datasets likely already have some form of identification, name, email, whatever. Most developers probably pump email or name into things like Mixpanel (they make it easy). If multiple apps do this: boom, panopticon.

        This is why I don't really get the outrage - sure it's crazy the amount of data that Google, Facebook, etc. have, but why would anyone be surprised by this?
