why does everyone seem to have such a defeatist additude about their data being harvested by apps and websites? i always hear people say how "it's probably all out there anyway" or "there's no way to completely prevent it, so i'm not going to bother partially preventing it", the more companies and organizations that spy on you, the more likely you'll be part of a data breach in which some personal information could be released about you. it's good to minimize your online footprint as much as possible.
