    You think Facebook’s bad now? Wait till they’re your doctor and insurance company all rolled into one. (PS. It doesn’t have to be Facebook per se, and don’t worry, you don’t have long to wait.) #SurveillanceCapitalismhttps://twitter.com/akwyz/status/976014856183844864 …

        Indeed. And yet their business model (in the West at least) makes privacy a competitive advantage for them (https://ar.al/notes/apple-vs-google-on-privacy-a-tale-of-absolute-competitive-advantage/ …). In China, different story. Long term, you’re absolutely right, no multibillion-dollar company is your friend.

        it scared me when i read in a research about Facebook predicting life expectation of its users. it's important for Facebook to know if we are going to live long or die soon
