Who the fuck ever thought Uber or Postmates wasn't storing their phone number, email address, or order history? Do they think these things are displayed in-app by witchcraft?

Conversely, I would guess most of those don’t store your credit card info. Lyft uses Stripe and Uber uses Braintree, so they’re unlikely to be storing actual full card numbers.

Forget learning to code; but maybe there should be some more basic awareness around how software works (?)

I guess if Uber uses your email address to email you a list of arguments for why you should vote to soften regulations affecting Uber, sure, it's using your user data to advertise to you. But this doesn't exactly max out the scare factor, people understand what a fucking email is

but it’s a subversion of expectation - it’s not why you gave them that info even though you know they _could_ use it for that

If people feel a visceral lack of control over their lives when they receive political advertising emails, they need to seek help. I really mean that.
