Someone was telling me about how walmart is selling data specifically regarding womens healthcare and reproductive rights, and I pointed out that, yeah thats why it’s important to care about what companies do with your data, but the real problem isnt that walmart is suddenly deciding to betray women, its that they have a financial incentive to sell any and all data they can possibly collect about people.

It’s not that I think the issue they highlighted isn’t a serious one, Its just that the underlying issue has been there for years and will only get worse. It doen’t JUST affect that one group, its only that because this person is part of that group they are suddenly more concerned about it.
