The only time I saw a data breach changing user behavior was with LastPass scandal last year. Unless it’s literally the people’s bank account passwords that’s at stake, I don’t think most would care at all.
I agree, regulation - either enforced by the platform or authorities - may as well be the only way.
it’s a social network. Some people do post things related to health and fitness, and it’s another gold mine of private data for ad targeting, so from a business perspective it makes sense to have features that integrate Instagram with these health and fitness gadgets.
This list is a summary of the data they may collect. Using these apps don’t mean you’re handing all this info automatically. Most of these are actually voluntarily shared e.g. when the user connects a fitness app to it; or actively requested e.g. when they make use of location sharing in the in-app chat.
The more in-app functionality a user makes use of, the more data they’ll hoard about that user.
thankfully it’s usually the other way around: the glass is opaque and only transparent with power. So you don’t need to worry about an ill-timed power outage.
